Hi David,
so you're running a Freenet spider too. Guess that means war ;-)
Or just competition. Or mutual learning. Or collaboration.
So... what I would like to know: Where do you want to take this project? Was
this just a quick shot at hacking htdig to adapt it to Freenet? Or is it the
beginning of something bigger?
Do you plan to add in-Freenet searching?
And what about all the other nifty features that Freegle already
incorporates? (SCNR...)
-Stefan

Subject: [freenet-chat] Harpoon Search - user notes
> Notes for Harpoon Search
>
> 1. Harpoon Search is a fully spidered Freenet search engine. This means
that
> you can search for text or html pages containing certain words in their
> text, as opposed to just searching on URIs or titles.
>
> 2. Temporary URL for Harpoon is http://harpoonsearch.cjb.net
>
> 3. Search engine results are based on your node's FProxy being at
> http://127.0.0.1:8081
>
> 4. Using Harpoon directly is non-anonymous. However, I do regularly delete
> all access logs. If you feel wary, then please access Harpoon through your
> favourite anonymising http proxy.
>
> 5. You can do boolean searches, using 'and', 'or', 'not' and parentheses,
> like Altavista
>
> 6. You can sort by relevance, time or title.
>
> 7. Phrase searching not available - but will be added soon
>
> 8. Search results are confined to pages within standard freesites, or URIs
> beginning with 'MSK'. For example, Snarfoo, Content of Evil etc.
>
> No stray CHKs, KSKs or other non-freesite URIs will appear. This is
because
> the spider is busy enough trying to track down the MSK pages as it is, and
> such a low percentage of advertised CHKs are actually retrievable.
>
> 9. A submission form will be added in the near future, so you can add your
> own freesite (again, MSKs only. CHKs, KSKs, SVKs and SSKs will be
> automatically rejected).
>
> 10. Fuzzy searching not available, but will be added if there is popular
> demand.
>
> 11. The server running Harpoon does not necessarily contain the pages
> returned in the search results. I have no way of determining whether any
> results actually exist on the server. Also, the spidering is fully
> automatic - there is no way for me to screen content. The search results
> generated by Harpoon point to your own local node. The fact that a
hyperlink
> generated by Harpoon works for you does not imply the existence of the
page
> on the Harpoon server.
>
> 12. The search database is constructed by a recursive crawl starting at
the
> FProxy Gateway page.
>
> 13. Bugs, suggestions etc - please email me -
