If you try searching for permutation, permutations, etc, you get short-circuited directly into the "Permutations" topic, which incidentally should probably be broken down further into the individual algorithms for doing so. I can only assume that this Short_Circuit guy has gone overboard with the short circuiting on the search feature in a zealous attempt to short circuit the world. ;) Only by searching for "permutations by" or "permutations by swapping" do you actually get the chance to see that this swapping page even exists on the wiki. Further, searching for terms on that page like "Steinhaus" yield only a result on the Permutations topic even though that term is all over the "Permutations by swapping" one, while other terms like "Trotter" do yield the swapping page as a result. It's kind of like the wiki prefers the Permutations topic over the Permutations by swapping topic for some reason. I only even found it thanks to google's indexing in the first place. --[[User:CStubing|CStubing]] 03:21, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

P.S. I have a C++ implementation of the Steinhaus algo to put up there, but I just want to refactor a little first.

:When you type <code>permutations</code> in the field, then hitting Search does what you expect. Hitting Go does as you described. Try hitting the Search button. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:18, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
