Funny, with Google you typically want to add "-best" to your searches to cut down on SEO spam.

I often do the opposite: "best [search query, usually a product] in the world".

You'll likely get the opposite

“best “ “bedt “ “old “ “wel “ “dta “ All of these crash safari in iOS for me. What’s strange about this bug is that it happened overnight for multiple iOS version. It seems to be a server bug that happens with the requests that populate the suggestions. Turning off safari suggestions fixes it.

Concur, smells strongly of a server-side change, that it's hitting multiple versions all the sudden. Which might mean it's also relatively quick/easy fix?

> quick/easy fix

Wait, you don't want them to fix the client crashing on malformed data?

These initialisms, abbreviations and acronyms are getting out of hand.

typical hacker news bullshit.

people forget that many acronyms are context sensitive and/or audience sensitive. they just assume everyone across the world has the same shared life experience that they do.

Where is this term popular? I have never, ever heard this term before.

It's a US military term; I've never heard it outside of a military context, but it's super common within a military context.

It is used in satellite communications as well to describe those beams that cover the continental US.

Continental US, I guess? Not sure why “continental” matters.

Excludes Hawaii, and Alaska (+ all other non state islands/territories)

So you’re saying the bug doesn’t happen for Hawaiian iPhone users somehow?

I literally just had a PM tell me "we will talk about that 'tom'". It left me confused for a few seconds. Is it really that hard to use a couple more syllables?

"Who tf is Tom?"

Apache Tomcat, a casual acquaintance of the local tomboy.

For those not reproducing: your device may have to reside CONUS for some of "tar"(-get), "bes"(-tbuy), "wal"(-mart), "wel"(-ls fargo), "old"(-navy?), "sta"(-rbucks), "pla"(-net fitness?) to work. Try local brands, e.g., "Harrods", "Tesco", "Picard", etc. For my country "Gusto", a casual dining franchise, reproduces the issue. List is from [1]. Edit: stopped reproducing here as of 19:11 UTC. Edit: some people digged i…

Hm, I am on CONUS and I’ve visited bestbuy.com a lot recently. The bug is not happening to me. Probably because I’m on iOS 15.6 and the bug happens starting with iOS 15.7, according to your Macrumors reference.

Probably I should upgrade even more slowly in the future…
