Ok, obviously I don't understand regular expression yet, sorry bout that, leetax

It's a language written, if I am to understand correctly, BEFORE computers by this genious math guy, as a way to represent wide ranges of possibilities. Here's a little bit in the way of an example:

m[ay]th: matches math, myth
d.g: matches dog, dig, dug, ddg, d7g, and so on.
d.*g: matches dg, dog, dig, dong, disapperating, and so on
dog (is|was) eating: matches "dog is eating" or "dog was eating"

I'm not going to explain everything here, but check out the link for a full explanation of it. The possibilities are endless.

I just made a welcome improvement. The new "What Noun" feature no longer supercedes Keyphrases. If you have a Keyphrase "what tree" or "what concert" it will be the chosen match, but if you dont have a specific matching Keyphrase (or just "what") and the "What Noun" feature can answer it, it does.

Sorry Professor, I wasn't trying to pressure you into doing anything. I was just giving a suggestion. I wont mention xcompliments again.

I have an idea. Would it be possible to make an area where we can give certain words properties sorta?

So you could use it to have your bot know what something is. for exmaple you could put that counterstrike is a computer game and the bot could then respond to things, already knowing that counterstrike is a computer game, and not a food

Also, something that goes along with that is could you make it so keyphrases could have conditionals like current mood, knowledge about the person or a word etc.

As a suggestion for future work, if it hasn't been made already.
Would it be possible (or even desirable) to have the plug-in lists function like (verb) (adj) etc does now?
For instance: Keyphrase: I like to (dance)
would capture I like to rumba, samba, tango, twist, waltz or whatever.

I second melody's suggestion it could be really useful.

Melody, you can already make plugins like that. You could make your own (dance) plugin and use that.

Hemi: Yes I know you can make them, but I want to use them in a keyphrase, not just in a response. Or are you saying that it can already be done? I did test it before I opened my mouth and it didn't seem to work.

I understand now. That would be good. The Professor will put that on his list of things to do.

Theoretically a thesaurus listing could work like that too. For example something like (T-Happy) could capture all synonyms of happy. Perhaps that's getting too complicated though??

It's wild that you guys mention that today, because I woke up this morning thinking of a way that I might be able to use custom plug-ins in Keyphrases that wouldnt kill the CPU (which is the major reason it hasnt been done yet).

I'll give it a try later and if it isnt too slow, I'll release it to yous guys.
