Greetings again,
For those who may have missed it, I sure did, there is also a new
search engine for the povray home page. You will find a link to it in
the menu on the main page. This search engine works only for content
on povray.org and not for the links page. To search for information
in the links database you must first go to the links page and use that
search engine separately.
For a nice list of hard to find info on the site try for your first
search word "POV-Ray". It returned more info than I knew existed there
and I have explored it rather extensively in the past couple of years.
Cheers,

Ahh, nice, nice, nice.
Just a question, would a search engine to these newsgroups be a possibility?

I imagine most anything is possible. When I need to search the groups
I use the capabilities built into Netscape for this purpose. Does a great
job of it too.
I know that a lot what Chris is doing is through CGI scripts and he lost
the scripts for the news groups a while back. I would think that once he
gets that back online it would be a much easier task for him to set up
for. Anyway I will ask but I can gaurantee nothing at this time.

Does this mean that netscape can search in the content of the news, not only
the headers? When setting up the cablemodem the @home person installed
netscape, but I never used it.

It does headers only. You want full message body search capabilites and
that is something that I will have to look into for you. You could do
like Peter Popov and store the entire contents of the server localy :)

Actually I've been thinking of doing that. But a few things kept me from doing
so:
Disk space.
What does it mean for the newsserver when somebody starts downloading every
thing on it for a few hours.
How to covert the OE5 files to something readable and maintain the structure
of the threads.
A good local search engine. I tried AltaVista Discovery, but had some troubles
with it.
An OT-filter :)

Helps a lot, believe me!

394 MB in 4711 file as of now (I am saving the attachments as separate
files so that I can browse through them more quickly)

You have to download them anyway. It's just that I set my newsreader
to keep all messages (even canceled ones, if I was fast enough to get
a copy).

There is a converter for OE to Agent. AFAIR Spider sent me an url
which might mean several things
a) that I can find the URL in my ICQ message archive
b) that the thing runs under Linux, maybe GPL, hence s.o. may be able
to make a conversion utility to, say, MySQL.
>A good local search engine. I tried AltaVista Discovery, but had some troubles

I find my newsreader's search abilities sufficient. I can even find
what post a specific file belongs to (by file name) :)
>An OT-filter :)
Just set your newsreader to kill all threads where I have posted a
reply :)

providing that they reside on your hard drive. Search qualifiers are current
group, all subscribed groups, all folders, first instance, all instances,
view list of all, etc. That would work out well for you, Ken, as I seem to
recall that you said you had ALL of the messages on this server :)

I have all of the message headers on this server meaning I do not expire
messages but the message bodies are not retained locally. Peter is the
only person I know of who is archiving all or the messages here.
