(7:44:02 PM) ES: improved search page incoming
(7:48:05 PM) footbed: holy shit
(7:48:11 PM) footbed: One less thing to make fun of!
(7:54:27 PM) ES: search still isn't where I want it, but its significantly better than it was
(7:54:45 PM) ES: pseudonym and author options are added
(7:55:03 PM) ES: though they still only work against a 4-letter or larger word
(7:55:09 PM) footbed: yeah that's huge
(7:55:15 PM) ES: but the general search algo is improved as well
(7:55:15 PM) footbed: haha why the 3 letter barrier?
(7:55:33 PM) ES: the primary thing its searching against is a mysql fulltext index
(7:55:49 PM) ES: the word size is set for that ina config file
(7:55:55 PM) ES: so, not moddable by us
(7:56:02 PM) ES: 4 is the default
(7:56:07 PM) ES: HOWEVER
(7:56:17 PM) ES: I changed it to do ANDing of all the terms
(7:56:44 PM) ES: so you will only ever get back shit that actually has all the terms you enter if at least one of them provides a match in the index
(7:57:19 PM) ES: basically a second layer on top of the index search to filter out the chaff
(7:57:25 PM) footbed: nice
(7:57:31 PM) ES: also, it's web 2.0
(7:57:34 PM) footbed: How do test compete against the Google search?
(7:57:38 PM) footbed: test = tests
(7:57:42 PM) footbed: whew 2.0
(7:57:46 PM) ES: I removed google search
(7:57:50 PM) footbed: WHAT
(7:57:58 PM) ES: well its commented out
(7:58:06 PM) footbed: This is controversial!
(7:58:11 PM) ES: it was working well enough that I didnt care about it
(7:58:17 PM) footbed: The new Entropy search better be awesome!
(7:58:22 PM) ES: ICJ can always add it back in
(7:58:44 PM) ES: author and forum names are autocompleting dropdowns
(7:59:11 PM) ES: full ajax calls to populate the dropdown from the DB
(7:59:22 PM) footbed: whoa Ajax, you weren't joking about 2.0
(7:59:35 PM) ES: I even added a pseudonym_search table to get it fast and right
(7:59:39 PM) footbed: I was going to make cracks about adding social networking chiklets on each search page
(8:00:03 PM) ES: the dropdowns are in descending order of number of posts so the most popular nicks and forums are always at the top
(8:00:23 PM) ES: page layout is shit though
(8:00:24 PM) footbed: that sounds awesome
(8:00:29 PM) ES: OH IT IS
(8:00:46 PM) footbed: Though people might request... alphabetical
(8:01:13 PM) ES: I'm going to take the Steve Jobs approach and say "fuck them I am right"
(8:01:40 PM) ES: they just have to type a couple more letters most likely to filter the dropdown more
(8:01:54 PM) footbed: oh yeah, that's fine.
(8:02:04 PM) footbed: I forgot the autocompleting part
HE FORGOT THE AUTOCOMPLETING PART :(
