This was an interesting matter to discuss because it involved a
nice-to-have usability feature. For any set of job requirements, there
are sites that match nothing, sites that match some, and (when lucky)
sites that match all. In some cases, no site matches some particular
requirement, or all job requirements match somewhere but not all at one
site. This is rich information that is hard to capture or convey in any
error message. Nonetheless, it would be useful to me on occasion. As
Stephen says, failure to match at any site is no error, but it is an
inconvenience to the user, who has to find the reason by (e.g.) trial
and error or prior knowledge. I think I've done this one to death, now!
Cheers, Steve
