The word is then linked to the specific work AND the paragraph in the work where the term/s are found.

It’s on Tennessee State University, so it’s flaky. I’m using a home made algorithm, so it’s probably
slow. But since CA is stored in a database, I could use an optimized SQL query to return the results.

But I can understand Steve’s reticence. He may not trust me since he doesn’t know me. I suppose I
could get Chuck Blackburn to email him. Hey may be happier with the bulletin board up. He could be busy
and not have time to manage the changes. Or it may be all of this or something else. Squash?

My textarea scrolls off screen which is why I’m putting in the crazy line breaks.

I’m with you on the search function. I’m not sure why Steve hasn’t taken you up on your offer. The on-site search box is very untrustworthy, and direct Google searches not a lot better. This is a serious issue.

Steve?

TIA, PT

Search is horrible.

I could write code that would allow posts to be ranked or marked by the Zamboni by importance. It seems that even so much as a hide or bookmark flag would be useful. Again, I’m thinking from Steve’s view, at the comment level. I don’t care much if the rest of you get any use.

My search algorithm is on display here: http://www.pronetric.com Don’t search for “the” because I haven’t corrected for that yet. I get little traffic, naturally. But, I do drill down to the paragraph level.

Search on this blog should return results at the comment level and provide better context in the search results.

I could easily construct such tools outside blog itself. In other words, tools that are seperate pages that don’t appear on the main blog, and I’m sure it’s a simple matter to back up the db for this blog. phpmyadmin?

Anyway, this is my third time volunteering technical help. I apologize. I promise not to bother again.

I’m sorry gunnar. I now pray for global warming to unfreeze the block of ice between your ears.

I don’t think that’s it at all. I thing people want to learn, interact,
and have their ideas about science discussed and/or correcteded by various smart people
and SteveMc and bender have had very little to contribute to that.”

Gunnar, do you understand the concept of Own goal? or Pwning oneself?

There should be a place where I can just have fun with a straightlines like the above.
Kinda like the batting cage at the minature golf place.
