Hello,

(I'm French so sorry for my english  :-\)

I discover Google Co-Op and I'm trying to use it on my site with HFS...

But, there are no results !
If I try with a other site, it's OK !

Do you try Google Co-op ?

Thanks a lot !


In French / En Français :

J'ai découvert hier Google Co-Op (moteur de recherche personnalisé pour les webmasters) et j'ai essayé de l'utiliser sur mon site avec HFS.

Mais, je n'ai aucun résultats ! alors que si j'essaie avec un autre site, ça fonctionne !

Avez-vous déjà essayé ?

Merci beaucoup !

If you dont mind exposing your content to the world then go ahead and use yahoo, or google to search your stuff. I recommend a program which i have not yet tested called, Search Engine Builder Pro. It is a side program that creates a personal search engine on your hfs, or any file server... from what i have heard.

Unfortunately, if you're like me and you don't know anything about PHP or ASP, you're stuck using the JavaScript output.

This isn't too bad if:
a) You have a relatively small number of files you want to index
b) You have a fast UPLOAD connection/Client has a fast DOWNLOAD connection

I found in my personal experience of testing around with Search Engine Builder Pro for all of last year, that with my 40 KB/s upload connection, it was completely impractical, seeing as I was indexing 6,000-7,000 files, and the javascript file came out to about 3 MB. It took so long to send the darn file to the clients that they never bothered to use the search engine at all.

Now that Comcast has increased my upload speed to 100 KB/s, I'm curious to see if it's worth a try again.
If someone could tell me how to setup HFS to use PHP and ASP, that'd be great, but to my knowledge HFS does not yet support either of these.

I use Search Engine Pro as well for quite some time.  One of the best Search Engine builders available IMHO.  And yes the javascript option is slower than PHP and ASP and that is mentioned at the author's site.  But until PHP/ASP are added to HFS we are stuck with javascript.  There is no way I will use a web-based search engine for obvious reasons.  Of course, a search engine is in the to-do list as well.

I don't know how you have your site set up but here are a few things I do to speed things up with javascript:

1.  Right now I have 3 main access levels at my site.  Guest, Normal, and Special users.  In other words a setup for different groups of people.  In Search Engine Pro, I create 3 different projects based on those access levels.   Each group of users get their own search engine based on what they have access to at the site.   Doing it this way, you end up with 3 different sized smaller javascript files and not one huge one.

2.  I have a few thousand wallpapers which I don't index.  I see no purpose in doing so.  I mention that in the search engine html the users see so they are aware of it.  They aren't interested in searching wallpapers anyway.  Only index what you think your users might search for.   I found it is mainly appz.

3.  As far as the search engine is concerned, you can break your site up into smaller sections and create seperate search engines for each section.  Ex. one for appz and another for mulimedia files etc.  Then just make a note in the html what sections are indexed in that search engine.

The name of the game is to decrease the size of the javascript file.

Hope any of this helps.

Hey... that's my site! :D 

You were lucky it was up when you tried it.  I have been moving a lot of things around lately getting ready to install bigger drives.

Sounds like you don't understand the search options.  Well, the defaults I setup are actually all you need and you don't have to change them... they are "within filename" and "using any words".

"within filename" means:
- you don't have to try and guess the complete filename of a file you are looking for.
- for example: if you wanted to find hfs v2.1d build 82 you could just put hfs in the search field and the search engine will show you all of the files that have "hfs" as part of the filename ("within filename").
- You could select your choice and download right from the search results.

"using any words" means:
- you could put more than one word or group of letters in the search field and the search engine will find all files that have those words or group of letters in it.
- for example: let's say you put hfs and flv in the search field.  The search engine will find all files that has hfs as part of the file name and also all files with flv in the filename or could even be in the file extension. ("using any words").
- You could select your choice(s) and download right from the search results.

Hi Maverick

not not,  I've well understood and I know well the keys of search, any ideas are around the
way with which you have prepared your site (e.g. tpl) also because many persons (first me  :'() haven't enough knowledges to do
that.

Ciao

I'm sorry for misunderstanding your first message.  I thought you were having troubles using the search function or it wasn't working for you.  I see you are now talking about my template.  It is not available for the public (not now anyway).

I'm haveing trouble with Search Engine Builder. When I type in the files category my server's adress http://myip:8080 it displays this error when I index it : Indexing...
http://88.203.183.202:8080/
Error: Open request failure because: A connection with the server could not be established

Error: Get page "http://88.203.183.202/" failure! HTTP Status Code: 12029 Error
Compress the indexed data...

The server is runing, before it worked but now it doesnt want to. Why is this happening ? Oh is there a way not to redirect to a port just my IP address http://myip :)
