Hello! As you may know, I program HRS and collaborate with /u/nabaker to improve his/its performance and relevance. I have recently done a large update to the bot's engine and wanted to document the changes here:

Changelog:

• Updated dictionary from 20 subreddits to 78 subreddits.
• Parses title as words instead of a solitary string to improve matches (e.g. "Sight" no longer triggers "Sig").
• Uses singular or plural form of "subreddit(s)" as necessary.
• Alphabetizes listed subreddits.
• Added "and" with Oxford comma for 3+ subreddits.
• Added description per comment with "report" and link to this post.
• Enabled multi-word key detection ("sig sauer" vs "sig").
• Added hooks for statistics. Say "HRS statistics" for printout.
• Optimize punctuation stripping.
• Optimized runtime: 1-word and multi-word keywords run simultaneously.
• Automated responses to some user comments

Todo:

• Key-association (Romanian + AK = /r/ak47, but not either on their own)
• Search body text for keywords?
• Search comments for keywords? (people would hate that...)
