Help on search
- How to use:
- Type in a word or number of words.
For example
society of mind.
- This searches the HTML code itself.
For example
img border width.
- It matches any case.
- This searches for strings inside words.
For example
max happ
would match
"maximize happiness",
"Maximize Unhappiness" or
"Maximize Collective Happiness".
- Any non-alphanumeric characters are turned into spaces,
which mean here not a literal space but rather "any sequence of characters".
- Check if I link to a website by searching for it:
w3.org.
- About the search engine:
- The search works like grep,
if you are familiar with that.
- It searches for the pattern all on the same line of the file.
- The search engine works like grep, because it is grep.
It was written by me
and has a grep at the core of it.
-
Version 1:
This search engine
started off as mostly Shell,
with grep at the core,
and a C++ front end for sanitising input.
-
Version 2:
It has now been re-written in PHP,
with no C++,
and no Shell except for one system call to
grep at the core.
