Forum Overview :: Site Comments :: Re: Yes. In 2007

[quote name="Entropy Stew"][quote name="nixon"]First of all I am a fucking dilettante, so I apologize if i am talking out of my ass here. I'm wondering if you are insisting on coding this whole site from scratch or not? If so I am sure there are good reasons. If not why not use an off the shelf tool like <a href="http://www.mnogosearch.org/">mnoGoSearch</a>? Not that I can't wait until 2007 for a search feature mind you, there isn't all that much archived here that you can't just hunt down (yet). [/quote] We're talking about searching a proprietary databse, not a website. There is no preexisting code for searching the caltrops DB. Coding this is actually towards the top of things I'd like to get done, but, as I said in the dev thread, I have little time to do anything lately. As for insisting on doing everything from scratch, I'm doing it because I want the most flexibilty possible. We could have used the scoop engine that powers kuro5hin, but then we'd have a fully featured site that looks and acts like...kuro5hin. -/ES/-[/quote]
