It's a fantastic day for digital monks! I just wish the url took a searchable ?query=aristotle on load so you could add it to your browser's search engine list

- dudehere 5y agoYeah, there has been a discussion on that matter. It would take the same time as the entire bootstrapping and the search query processing to open such an URL. This is doable but may exhibit inadequate performance. I support you, though, that independent of the search time it is valuable to have a linking standard like that.
- stavros 5y agoWouldn't #query=Aristotle work and be just as fast?
- dudehere 5y agoThe databases still needs to bootstrap first, then the code can search on it. Initialization phase should prepend showing a record.
- stavros 5y agoSure, that's why the anchor would be faster, because you can use the same initialization code and still accept the query in the URL.
- dudehere 5y agoAnchor does not solve the bootstrapping issue. You may click an URL with an anchor or without, but the new page in the browser will need to load the database fragment and search over it before showing you the retrieved record. There's no faster way known yet in this implementation.
