[22:46] irclogs.ubuntu.com does not have a search box, is there source code for it available somewhere? how to add it? [22:47] Sveta`: http://mg.pov.lt/irclog2html/ [22:48] note that's for the html display, not the for the file structure [22:51] 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 [22:57] what are you trying to search for? [22:57] I wanted to find something I said yesterday. I then remembered it, but thought that a search box would be generally handy. [22:57] Basically, site:irclogs.ubuntu.com search terms here should do it fine. [22:58] of course if you're trying to find a common string that might suck :) [22:58] 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 [22:59] (and it does not sort results by date which is slightly inconvenient) [23:00] i generally ctrl+f and use the in-browser search [23:01] 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 :) [23:02] it's more funcitonal than enabling a search that would shut down the facility entirely though :) [23:02] so use your client's irc logs? [23:02] ^^^ [23:02] grepping a huge directory is pretty darn simple and quick [23:02] ya, I'll do that until I find something ddos-proof for everyone to use [23:13] Seems pretty simple to change the date, hit ctrl+f and enter though. YMMV, I guess. [23:14] 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] seems like it wouldn't be hard to strip that from filenames but what do i know
