[22:46] <Sveta`> irclogs.ubuntu.com does not have a search box, is there source code for it available somewhere? how to add it?
[22:47] <wxl> Sveta`: http://mg.pov.lt/irclog2html/
[22:48] <wxl> note that's for the html display, not the for the file structure
[22:51] <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
[22:57] <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.
[22:58] <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
[22:59] <Sveta`> (and it does not sort results by date which is slightly inconvenient)
[23:00] <el> i generally ctrl+f and use the in-browser search
[23:01] <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 :)
[23:02] <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
[23:13] <Unit193> Seems pretty simple to change the date, hit ctrl+f and enter though.  YMMV, I guess.
[23:14] <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
