Hey, I implemented
search for this weblog.
Here's the implementation, in case you're interested. When I wrote
term-tracker last year, this is one of the two things I imagined I could do with it, the other being these
TF-IDF summaries, which I have to say are less illuminating than I had hoped.
The search, I think, is good enough. It's very lightweight. The
server app pretty much just loads a JSON index, then looks up terms from it, then the web app grabs the search result content from the JSON files already produced by
static-web-archive. It's a lot less work to maintain than something like Elasticsearch.
There's a lot of limitations. For example, I was lazy with term-tracker, and didn't get it to figure out compound words with phrases. Also, you can only search for one word at a time. But these are things that can be fixed, if I really feel it's necessary.
Right now, I'm more interested in applying it to the bot weblogs, though, admittedly not enough to make it the next thing I do.
It does get stuff, though!
Here's some subway posts. Here you can see I've said a lot about Google's ruining of humanity. Here's a bunch of Wily posts from before they mostly moved over to the
Daily MRRP!
