"MochiKit is a highly documented and well tested, suite of JavaScript libraries that will help you get shit done, fast. We took all the good ideas we could find from our Python, Objective-C, etc. experience and adapted it to the crazy world of JavaScript."

Since .NET was first released, Riaan Hanekom’s been itching to write his own collection of data structures and algorithms. This is an attempt at providing a reusable, generic collection of data structures and algorithms for use in .NET 2.0 and beyond. This article will not provide all the details and full descriptions of the inner workings of these collections and algorithms - rather, it will provide links to resources available on the web (there is no sense in trying to beat Wikipedia) and provide points of interest on this specific implementation.

"Here’s one way to implement a search, similar to Google’s, if you don’t want to (or can’t) use full text indexing. This allows you to pass a string of words, and indicate that either ALL words must match, ANY must match, or the exact string must match."

It is useful to read the comments about collation errors etc.
