NS will never be finished as long as Jeremy is coding for it.

Search SearchWritten by BigToachOn January 15th, 2006 05:15 AM in Community News The search is working now. for now it only works for the forums. It will be expanded to more areas as time goes on. If you want more details read on. I will get pretty in depth about the specifics about the search. For starters, this search uses MySQL's newer full text method (this also means for now that searches must be at least 4 characters long and not have things like "what", "that" or really really common words) for searches. Basically this means that your searches are more accurate and much faster. You will notice that we don�¢ï¿½ï¿½t have the typical loading screen or anything like that in for our search. Although we may implement a time limiting search factor similar to other forums, for now we will see how the server handles all of you searching it. As of right now there is no real difference between the way that the search results look when you search by post or by thread (only difference is you are linked to a specific post when searching by post, and you are linked to the thread when searching by thread. We are aware of this and it will be changing once we see how the server performs with the new search engine in place. When you do a default search (the form at the top of every page) you will get threads within the last 6 months (to cut down on really old threads being re-opened) sorted by relevancy with the best results at the top and not so good ones towards the bottom. The search will search through the post and the title in all open forums. Now for the advanced search. There are the general search options that are available on most forums (search by title/post, return as a thread or post, newer/older than a certain date, search by a partial or exact username, sort by a variety of options, search in a specific forum, and order descending or ascending). There are a few settings that can not go together and you will get an according error message to fix your settings accordingly. Other than that enjoy the new searches. So far the seem to be quite accurate and fast. Hope the server will continue to think the same thing.

He hasn't promised & failed and let the community down. Plus lets face it, this site had the potential to make its owners pretty rich :-) February 25th, 2006 05:47 AM People who set out on the internet just to make money are going to going to fail. February 26th, 2006 02:34 PMOhhhhhh that explains why Neverside failed. All that talk about releasing NeverAPI at a cost. Stupid locke. mcdude, if i was to make a site like Neverside. I would do it in ASP.Net, development would be a lot faster... well lets face it, if Jeremy did Neverside in OOP, development would be a lot faster. My only drawback is people are retarded, i couldn't stand administrating a website full of shitheads who ***** and moan, and of which a majority are preteens who think their smarter than they actually are. I mean in all seriousness, if you read a thread with 30 posts, only about 3-5 of those posts are worth reading... March 19th, 2006 12:14 AM Sweet, it's finally working. March 16th, 2007 11:43 AMThat's right! |
