Google has the option to search within a site through the operator "site:" then find threads from google instead of on the site itself. Fireden supported this feature thus making the search very proficient since google is handling the search. Are you planning to allow this feature to come in the future or does it involve much more work to be done?

Most of the site won't show up in google because crawling is disabled for threads. Bots like google's were sending too many requests for large threads and wasting CPU time.

>>361 Google tends to show the amount of posts/authors within a thread usually so you get a sense of how much posts are within the thread. Usually this is a hit or miss but it gives a slight idea if the thread you are about to click on has any posts or it is a dead one for example making it easier to look at recommendation threads or not having to go through dead thread after dead thread.
Although I understand that it would take a toll on the server, it really did make the Fireden archive useful to find specific threads instead of sifting through garbage although since there are search operators here, it does make the searching somewhat decent. Thank you for taking the time to explain. I did not know that such a thing could have an effect on servers like this.

API sends incorrect links: "remote_media_link":"\/\/

Example -
https://arch.b4k.co/_/api/chan/thread/?board=vg&num=292765779 Is this a known issue and will it be fixed?

The URL was intentionally set up like that to allow it to automatically use http/https in HTML pages, it doesn't really make sense in the API but foolfuuka doesn't allow setting a separate URL there, it uses the same for both.

Could you do what
rbt.asia did and implement search operators of sort? Like excluding threads/posts that include a certain word such as that? Or even the ability to sort threads when searching from most replies to least similar to how it is able sorts the oldest from newest? I think it would be a good addition but I am not one to judge how hard it would be to implement.

>Like excluding threads/posts that include a certain word such as that? Just add - before a word to do that. Same as rbt.
>oldest from newest Again, same as rbt, use the "Oldest Posts First" option.

Hey admin, did you know that archived.moe has /v/ database from 2012? Maybe you can ask him and add it here too? It would be cool because search on moe doesn't work.

I am aware, those posts from 2012-2015 are from the archive.moe dump which is publicly available. I already have that and several more dumps (including fireden's entire /vg/ database+thumbs) but merging them all into one is a challenge.

Howdy, any plans to expand search functionality to include searching for image unix timestamps? I have a timestamp for an image from 2018 and I want to find the post that uses it but it seems like the server only shows the first 3000 results for a specific date, so I can't reach it by just going to the date and time on the timestamp.

Quoted By:
>>305 >any plans to expand search functionality to include searching for image unix timestamps Having a timestamp but not the image file itself or the post number doesn't sound like something that happens often, so I don't think it justifies modifying the search system at this point.
That said, if you post the timestamp(s) I can find the posts for you manually.

I've noticed sometimes, when searching for threads made recently as in the past 15 hours sometimes they don't show up
i.e. attempting to looking up
http://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/475783621 using the search system either by entering in "what's the /v/erdict" + opening threads or just entering in Control in the subject line and it still doesn't show up
This has happened several dozen times but that's one specific example, like there's a delay in which threads can be searched up, but other times I can immediately search up posts made just a few seconds ago on /v/

Remember that you can still search for older posts on fireden via tor (ydt6jy2ng3s3xg2e.onion)

Also, please don't use extensions that attempt to load every full image in a thread at the same time. This is harmful to archives.

Better idea: full years-back text search function for /v/ and /vg/ (I care more about the text posts than the pics tbh) and nuke /mlp/ entirely (nothing of value would be lost)
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>273 You probably think you're real smart, don't you? But no, that's not how it works.
It has been said before and I'll say it again: /v/ and /vg/ dwarf most other boards to the point where every other board could be removed from this archive and absolutely nothing would change.
And besides, providing search is a problem because it requires very large amounts of RAM, deleting boards that don't even have search enabled does not help.

Why does any word shorter than three characters get omitted from search? Even if you use quotation marks for a phrase containing a word less than three letters, it will act as if the word wasn't there at all.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
Because the minimum word length for search was set to 3. It has been that way since 2015 because it supposedly makes search take up less resources, but I never put much thought into it.

This archive exists because I want it to. Back when it was created there was no /v/ archive at all. It also had search but I had to disable it because the search backend's RAM usage consistently went up as the database got bigger (/v/ alone has at least 42 million posts archived, can't give an exact number because counting very large tables on InnoDB is extremely slow).
I want a reliable archive to exist.
fireden.net is down quite a lot (like right now) and archived.moe is an "all boards" archive and those usually don't last, so the only option left is to run one for myself.
Nobody's forcing you to use it, so I don't see why you're so upset. Actually, riddle me this: if running an archive with search is as easy as you describe it, why don't you do it yourself?

Literally what is the point of boards like /mlp/ and /vp/ even getting archived to the extent it is when it is obvious that something like /v/ needs more attention instead of wasting resources on those good for nothing boards.
