As far as I know, the administration of xkcd.com and it's forums have nothing to do with OhNoRobot's search method.

Yea the mod in question PMed me a very thoughtful PM, and I understand his reasoning completely. Would it be okay to request this thread be closed?

Re: The ironic editing of Mathmagic's post before this, we use tags surrounding the objectionable content we see. The tags cause the words "This post had objectionable content" to appear instead of the text of the post, but the text is still there for mods to see if they press edit. I edited Mathmagic's post because he wrote out exactly what the tag is that we use. But although people have discovered the tag,...

I suspect Oh No Robot's mechanism is skewed to look for words being matched earlier first to have a higher weight (i.e. the earlier in the strip the word is, the higher weighting the strip receives) Out of curiosity I just tried the same experiment in a different comic search engine, and doesn't have the same quirk.
