| Sveta` | irclogs.ubuntu.com does not have a search box, is there source code for it available somewhere? how to add it? | 22:46 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | Sveta`: http://mg.pov.lt/irclog2html/ | 22:47 |
| wxl | note that's for the html display, not the for the file structure | 22:48 |
| Sveta` | it has a search box already, "# the following needs some extra Apache setup to enable the CGI/WSGI script" "--searchbox", that could be handy except it has a warning ``The script can be easily abused to cause a denial of service attack; it parses all log files every time you perform a search.`` in the readme. hm | 22:51 |
| el | what are you trying to search for? | 22:57 |
| Sveta` | I wanted to find something I said yesterday. I then remembered it, but thought that a search box would be generally handy. | 22:57 |
| Unit193 | Basically, site:irclogs.ubuntu.com search terms here should do it fine. | 22:57 |
| wxl | of course if you're trying to find a common string that might suck :) | 22:58 |
| Sveta` | Unit193: I just did that with "sveta dnssec" search terms but that didn't bring up the yesterday conversation, presumably the crawler is not this quick or something | 22:58 |
| Sveta` | (and it does not sort results by date which is slightly inconvenient) | 22:59 |
| el | i generally ctrl+f and use the in-browser search | 23:00 |
| Sveta` | it splits logs at a different midnight than mine, which may make it a bit more challenging to find the information from 'my yesterday' which is 'your today or yesterday' or something similar :) | 23:01 |
| el | it's more funcitonal than enabling a search that would shut down the facility entirely though :) | 23:02 |
| dax | so use your client's irc logs? | 23:02 |
| wxl | ^^^ | 23:02 |
| wxl | grepping a huge directory is pretty darn simple and quick | 23:02 |
| Sveta` | ya, I'll do that until I find something ddos-proof for everyone to use | 23:02 |
| Unit193 | Seems pretty simple to change the date, hit ctrl+f and enter though. YMMV, I guess. | 23:13 |
| dax | i always liked that some of the urls have # in them (escaped to %23) and this confuses the heck out of some browsers | 23:14 |
| dax | seems like it wouldn't be hard to strip that from filenames but what do i know | 23:14 |
