New search engine
Posted by Magnus on 21 March 2004, 12:28 GMT

Our new search engine, announced back when we migrated to the new server, is now finally up. This means you are no longer sent over to Google for all web searches on our site. It also means that you can once again specify which areas of the site you want to search (using Custom search).

For the technically interested, this search engine is based on the tsearch2 package from postgresql, which provides full text indexing with relevance ranking. Since it's included in the database, it integrates very efficiently with the other database parts of our site.

Now that you're done reading this, go rate some files! (1314 votes on 896 programs so far - get to work!)

P.S. just means "Post script" or "after the script" so P.P.S. and the others is the correct way to say it. It means "after the Post Script"

New Files list is borken
Chivo  Account Info

This is a little OT, but the New Files list (RECENT ADDITIONS TO OUR ARCHIVES) is borken for non-logged-in users.

When I'm not logged in, all it has is the headers ("New Files for ...") and nothing else. It's been like that for a few days now.
