Recent Changes @ FreeRepublic 12-Oct-2001

Posted on 10/12/2001 7:46:38 PM PDT by John Robinson

Making changes to the Self-Search function, and in particular, how the database is organized in relation to Self-Search.

Self-Searches should now be lightning quick and should span many months. The current index holds about 6 months of data (all I have available.)


TOPICS: Miscellaneous

They are indexed, the system only prints the first 97 characters (or first line). I will add an option to print ALL names. Just think if there were a thousand names on the list? That would be one certain eyesore.

Whatever you do, do NOT tell Arthur McGowan about this thread. Got it?

What would happen if someone spelled my screenname "cliker" or "clicker" (as happens quite often - I don't know why)? Would the message go through?

(On a side note, I just noticed that something you did seems to have disabled Internet Explorer's "Auto Complete" function -- which had my "go-bret-go" bump-list stored. Of course, this isn't a big deal, since you said you're going to add a personal address book thingamajig. Just a mindless rant.)

Oh no.......Carnivore and Echelon don't need the help.

Maybe we ought to get new screen names, like Adbullah Gorilla and Osama Mio.

Any plans to reactivate author searches via "author:(name of author)"? Those used to be the easiest way to avoid duplicate posting of the same article posted under different titles.

There you go. That is at least half of the registered FReepers. This is fun!

That's pretty cool! The first time I Previewed it, it told me it could not find one of the names and I had to delete it. Then it worked! No more pinging X-FReepers!

You are toooooooooo cool!

I noted this before, and I don't know if you have the same problem: I can't vary the number of lead-in words.

Although I chose 50 words in my "Preferences", I still get the same number, about 100.

Hi John,

NOTE: This is a temporary program, the URL will change. We're using this as an interim solution. This is not the final version!

Looks good, but (there alway seems to be one of those),
Would still like to see who I replied to (I can see who a reply was from).
Also, will there be an FRmail notification?

Don't you have a massive bump list somewhere? C'mon I wanna test this thing. :-)

Oakie doakie, you asked for it:

aerator;
damorgue;
navgas;
nomnots;
allgall;
mojunk;
exsquirrelly;
and all the other beta-gammas hunkered down in their bunker...

PS I like the new format and still don't like the moderators.

It seems to work. I was flagged even though my name wasn't posted. Cool!

Will the gummint be able to track me more efficiently by my postings?

The machine you "borrow" from me once in a while is bugged! :-)
