Hello.

I have created a new page on Helmut Leitner's D Wiki to document the sources - both Phopos library and the D Frontend. The ones who may know the sources please consider to contribute a few lines.

If you happen to be reading the source, this page may be of help for you in future. If you figure anything out, please care to post.

USE THE SOURCE, OBI-WAN.

I'd like to figure out a way to take the 10,000+ messages in this newsgroup and create a google-like searchable database on it with a web interface.

I used htDig (http://htdig.org/) for things like that.
Worked very nicely for me -- after some reading. (But
that was years ago, I'd need to re-learn it if I wanted
using it again.)

Cheers,
Sz.

Thanks for the reference. Looks like it'll take some effort to get it running :-(

Yup, it looked not overwhelming to me, too, back then.
But in the end, it went easier than I thought.
(Dunno, I used Debian, that might have also hidden
some pitfalls of the installation.)

Basically, as to my vague memories, it's installed structure is like:

    - some config files in /etc (telling it where
      your to-be-indexed web pages are)

    - a cron job to do the indexing

    - an index database somewhere in /var/lib/...

    - a customizable lookup script (CGI) for the
      web interface (somewhere in /usr/...)

    - your search web-page, calling the CGI

Good luck,
Sz.

Ehh, I mean "looked overwhelming". :) (I skipped
sleeping again last night. It always shows...)
