    1) I found this error:

    Let's take this question:
    http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1558360

    It is in the category:
    " Science » Physical sciences » Space & Astronomy » Cosmology » Big Bang"

    However, here are the "More on this topic" articles:

    "Bang Styles for Curly Ringlet Hair
    How to Hide a Large Forehead
    How to Style Bangs for Curly Ringlet Hair
    About Bangs
    Side Bang Hairstyles for Long Hair
    How to Trim Girls' Bangs
    How to Layer Bangs & Face Frame for Long Hairstyle
    How to Have a Bettie Page Hairstyle"
    Source: the question page.

    It looks like someone has mixed up two very different meanings of the word "bang":

    "Bang is commonly used as an onomatopoeia for a sound, mostly that of an explosion.
    Bang or bangs may refer to:
    [[Bang], a caste in Hindus (Maheshwari)
    Fringe (hair), hair that is combed forward and cut short on the forehead, known as bangs in North America"
    Source and further information:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang


    2) I have not noticed a similar thing before, I have the impression that this is generally working rather good.


    3) As far as I understand this, the "Related Questions" box shows a list of few Answerbag questions in the same category as the main question.

    The "More on this topic" box shows a list of articles in the same category. Those articles are written by employees or free lance writers.

    Because those articles were to be integrated in Answerbag's system, they all had to be categorized in the same category tree than Answerbag questions.

    Some errors could have happened in the process.

    Moreover, this only works as long as the questions have been well categorized.


    4) I just posted a feedback about this.

    You're fortunate it didn't offer tips on banging your girlfriend. It's keyword driven. Sometimes it offers meaningful links, and many times it doesn't. Computers have a long way to go before they can really understand the meaning of a simple sentence.

    Thanks for the feedback. We are working with a new technical development team at Demand Media and we are hoping to develop new features as well as work through the glitches at AB such as our search engine technology. It is a long process and we do ask for your patience. I will forward your comment to our tech team and hopefully your suggestion will be implemented in some form soon. As a moderator the most I can do is report the glitches. I sympathize with you and hopefully we can improve and work thru many of these problems.
