But something like "I have a baseball" gets changed to "I has a baseball".

Is it not possible to build a catchphrase for the word "huh?" It's often the entirety of a message (as "LOL" sometimes is), but it seems to get filtered out entirely in pre-processing. I'm not sure why you'd need to filter it out. It's pretty easy to write responses for.

Some of my bots have responses for "huh" and last I knew they were working.

You should check 'em. Simulo has a response for "huh" and I've never been able to trigger it.

is there a way to make a keyword fire if it is the only word? (I know that doesnt make sense) what I mean is... for example the word "what" What can be used as a single word response but if you make a keyword for what then you have alot of work to do before alot of other replies fall into that category.
with that said, is there a way to make it only give a response if it is a single word response.

But, I want to be able to get a list of all occurances of keyphrases or responses from my bots ENTIRE transcript, not just a day at a time.

msim, that's where ranking comes in. You could make phrases for 'what' and rate those a lot lower in ranking than 'what is,' 'what did,' 'what are you * about,' and so on.

how does the (Somethng|something) work? can I do (you|the) and it would accept both? ie. "you seem like (you|the)" would catch "you seem like you blah blah" or "you seem like the blah blah"

I don't use ranking, I think it makes it too complicated.

I've never gotten it to produce the desired results.

I think ranking is highly necessary -- and the secret of having complex responses. To get it to work, you have to give things rankings that are pretty far apart, however, because there are aspects of the preprocessing that will give "bonus" points to some phrases without your knowledge.

So, if you want your bot to have a special response to "Linkin Park," and a general response to "I like (whatever)," you give Linkin Park a ranking of 35 or so, and "I like" a ranking of 2.

Then, if someone says, "I like Linkin Park," you get the specialized response, instead of the general one.

Is it just me, or is everybody else offended when someone says, "I was just born and cant speak well yet?" I have responses programmed for that, but apparently I'm too annoyed to say them.
