Interesting. I searched for "what is jit oauth" and got no results.

I did end up getting results with "jit oauth" (quotes not in search), but not great ones.

To be fair, google didn't give me great results for either of those queries either

edit: What I was looking for was related to JWTs, not necessarily oauth, and the actual claim in spec is "JTI" (but I believe a service whose traffic I was inspecting used "jit" instead)



Back when people-facing computer stuff worked more like computer-facing computer stuff, queries were simple: keywords to match. If you get too many results, add more keywords; if you get too few, remove* keywords (or change existing keywords to be more specific/more general respectively).

If you're not searching for literal occurrences of "what" and "is", why should they even be in a query?

* this is an instance of an adjunction, which is an important concept in informatics, but I understand that to actually admit the fact would probably be the kiss of death for anything claiming to be a "user" interface.

Lagniappe: marginalia, upon being queried with "precision" and "recall", came up inter alia with http://comonad.com/reader/2009/remodeling-precision/ , which I count as a win for it.
