#142Today I learned that 20 years ago I was a defendant in an unlawful detainer (eviction) lawsuit regarding an apartment I shared in college. I had moved out of the apartment after graduation. Apparently my roommate stopped paying the rent and the landlord sued both of us. I was never served and didn't know about the case until now.

Nice false equivalence. Lawyer: duty-bound professional, is an officer of the court, can be publicly disbarred, very expensive degree that needs to be paid off Some guy on the internet with an axe to grind: ???
I believe in California you only need to pass the bar to become a lawyer, no expensive degree required.
That does not appear to be correct. You can see the requirements to be admitted to the California Bar here: https://www.calbar.ca.gov/admissions/requirements
Note in particular the education requirement:
> Here are all the options:
> - Three or four years of study at a law school accredited by the American Bar Association
> - Four years of study at a State Bar-registered, fixed-facility law school
> - Four years of study with a minimum of 864 hours of preparation at a registered unaccredited distance-learning or correspondence law school
> - Four years of study under the supervision of a state judge or attorney
> - A combination of these programs
If all you've done is pass the bar exam, you can go to hell. It may not even be possible; the requirements for the California exam are behind a login wall, but other states have restricted eligibility to take the exam based on the testee's education. I assume they didn't want to be embarrassed by having the wrong sort of person pass the bar.

Exact match searches are supported. Can you give an example? Also, to limit by other qualifiers you can add those to the search criteria. However, the search isn't field-specific and so that ability can be done loose-ly (like Google) and not in a strict field-by-field sense. It's difficult and time consuming, but something that could improve the search.
How are exact match searches supported? There is absolutely no evidence on the page that this is possible. How does searching for “brad knowles” match “brad alan knowles”, when I put my name in quotes? How does it match a case where “brad knowles” does not appear to be used anywhere on the page, but where one line matches “knowles” and then another line matches “brad”?
I think this is a smart-quotes issue -- smart-quotes are removed:
“brad knowles” -> brad knowles
"brad knowles" -> "brad knowles"
I always set my OS to disable smart-quotes. Worst is when you paste them into source code.

#145What the heck does this use to search so fast? We use Elastic at work, and for 100K entries, it crawls compares to this.

Sounds like you're resource-starving it if it crawls at 100k. Either that or ES is perhaps not your bottleneck?

I see another speeding ticket listed as "Non Criminal". I've got another ticket not listed as anything and actually it has my full DOB and previous address, cool

Chase, why?
