Re: [Flashcoders] Flash / Flex specific search engine
you guys should have it show the number of results under each tab. it looks like you get no results at all when you search for something that's not in the livedocs, but is under other tabs. or maybe just some indication that there are other results in the other tabs?

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash / Flex specific search engine
Ok, well I suppose that I should clarify some of the concepts behind the design. First, typically when I do a general search on Google, it's usually for something that's syntax related -- essentially, I use Google to search livedocs. Unfortunately, Google tends to return results for the wrong version of the product that I'm searching for. Hence, we have restricted the google search to only return results from the latest version of the docs for any given product. In this case, it's the Flex 2.01 livedocs. If the problem that I have is more use-case related, I'd turn to the developer community -- see what people have blogged about the issue. That's why there's a blogs/sites tab on the search...so you can toggle between the official livedocs results and the unofficial (although quite useful) blog results. In terms of displaying # of results -- we're working on that, but there are some limitations in the Google AJAX API that are a bit restrictive. The main difference between this site and google is that we have full control over the sources of information being searched, so we can separate the wheat from the chaff as it were. For instance, it ONLY searches livedocs Flash 8 (vs old versions of livedocs) and it ONLY searches specific blogs which we have found to contain valuable information. The key to this working is COMMUNITY SUPPORT. While we've added about a dozen url's for it to return results in the blog/site search, we need EVERYONE'S support to suggest the top sites where they've found useful information about Flash Flex. That's why there's a suggest a url function at the bottom of the page.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash / Flex specific search engine
It now shows up on gotswf.com under the Flash Blogs/Sites tab (assuming you put in an appropriate search term). Of course, it would have gotten there faster had you used the submit a url tool. -S -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Stearns Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 12:01 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flash / Flex specific search engine i searched for swfobject and got a few results. none were the official page. that made me sad :( On Mar 7, 2007, at 11:04 AM, Steve Drucker wrote: http://www.gotswf.com Feedback appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash / Flex specific search engine
So this is just using google search API and all it is is just a search engine that searches specific sites you've determined to be flash/flex specific? Is there anything particularly special about it? On 3/7/07, Dave Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Trying to figure out what this is - what does Flash / Flex specific search engine mean?
