search engine for the archives?

search engine for the archives?

Hash: SHA1

Hi all. I've contemplated this time and time again, however I'm not sure 
anyone has thought of it. Has anyone thought of working on a search 
script that would accept a keyword as input, and then output a list of 
messages containing that keyword/series of words? If this somehow hasn't 
been thought of yet, I'm wondering if anyone is actually interested in 
something like this. The reason I thought of doing this is bc I'm 
watching the Speech Dispatcher thread, and I know I will want to refer 
back to it once I get my laptop because I may be installing software 
speech on it. Also, I will most likely forget where the thread is in the 
archives, and I thought it would be nice if I could just search for it. 
In terms of implementing such functionality, I'm thinking Perl is a good 
option. And then depending on where the archive pages are actually 
located/structure of the pages themselves, the script could then pass 
the input along to grep. The grep output would be contained in an array, 
which would then be parced and returned to the user in the form of a 
result listing. The reason I say that it will be parced is because the 
grep output is most likely going to be in the form of HTML pages, and 
the script will need to strip out all the extranious HTML tags, and then 
render the results in a new page. Anyone like/dislike this idea?

Sounds like a cool idea. I'd be all for it. Also, though this is on 
another topic, is there a tool that searches many web sites for a key 
word, many words or an exact phraze rather like Copernic in that other 
strange os does?

I don't know of any such program, although I'd search freshmeat/google.

Yeah that's a good idea I don't even know how to get to the archives.  Each html
page could be titled with the subject of the mail message.  So then perl would
just have to search the directory with the subjects of the e-mail  you're
grepping The other way do do this is to create a small database but that might
be more complex.

There might already be a database, not sure how the archives are 
organized. Hopefully Kirk will reply to this so we can possibly get 
something going.

Re: search engine for the archives?

[dking]

A mysql database, designed to use both posted dates/times and topics as the primary key may work better then a grep based solution as you said; I happen to know a
small amount of relational data base design, and from my limited experience a small one table mysql database with a php front end may fit the needs of the project,
then again I may be wrong.

The difference is search; What do you want to search by? The initial design of the database would define its abilities and how you can interact with it, what and how
you can search it and so forth, designed badly it would be un-searchable.

The only problem with a database that i see as of right now is that then 
the entire archiving system will have to be re-done. But then again, I 
may be wrong. The way I'm trying to design this is so that you can drop 
it in, and have it use the existing archiving system however it's 
implemented.

Then it depends on what we have grep may work better.

Re: search engine for the archives?

Well, what is currently being used?  I think that is the place to 
start, other then that doing anything else would be a waste of time, 
since we need to be able to use the archives data.

Is Kirk the only one who knows what we are using?

I did a search and it seems that its a gpl project as well :

http://www.namazu.org/

Either way the honor of installing it and getting it to work would be 
left to the systems admin.

Re: search engine for the archives?

[Kirk Reiser]

If you want to write a search engine greate!  We have discussed it a
number of times before here on the list but nobody has actually come
up with anything.  If you develop something which works I'll be glad
to install it.  You'll probably want to install mailman so you can see
how the archiving works.

Speaking of Mailman, I thought it implemented a search engine by 
default? Or so I've heard.
