In your case maybe a video showing the advantage of this over copy pasting emails and the like. For all I know it might be better then what i'm currently doing, but for what I see as no gain I have no real incentive to try it. A video would solve this for me.
- StavrosK 13y agoThat's also a very good suggestion, I'll try to replace the photo with a screencast, thank you. Also, searchco.de is amazing, I've been looking for something like that many times. As far as I'm concerned, the reason that's not more popular is because I didn't know about it. Although, I'm having a problem searching for '"def reverse" django', as I'm guessing it interprets quotes literally. If it could do that so I didn't have to browse Github's files manually, it would be a lifesaver.
- boyter 13y agoThanks. I am working on the SEO, I will move over to searchcode.com in the next few weeks. As for your query... yes it actually searches for the quotes. Something like =~ is a valid search in it. I am in the process of building characteristics to define technology types. This will allow you to do something like the following with any luck, def reverse tech:django lang:python url:github IE search for the text "def reverse" in a django file which is python and hosted on github. BTW the tech: portion is not live yet. Still a work in progress :)
- StavrosK 13y agoIf I'm not mistaken, that will search for the keywords "def" and "reverse" in the file, which isn't exactly the same. They'll be included in many places, whereas I want the definition of reverse.
- boyter 13y agoIt does, but its very phrase heavy and will try to match "def reverse" literally over "def" and "reverse". Where no matches are found it falls back to the latter though. See, http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse as an example
- StavrosK 13y agoOh I see, I didn't notice it was finding projects that were using Django, rather than search the Django repository itself. It would be great if you could specify the repository name.
- boyter 13y agoActually that's supported too, http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse+repo%3Adjango http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse+repo%3Adjango restricted to bitbucket, http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse+repo%3Adjango+url%3Abitbucket http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse+repo%3Adjango+url%3Abitbuc... or github http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse+repo%3Adjango+url%3Agithub http://searchco.de/?q=def+reverse+repo%3Adjango+url%3Agithub
- syllogism 13y agoHave you considered just having a separate box that handles non-literal metadata queries? That way the user doesn't have to think about your typology --- they just type words in a box like they're used to from Google. I like the idea of this a lot by the way. I hope to find use for it.
- boyter 13y agoSorry about the late reply. I have considered it, but im trying to make most of it clickable filters on the right hand side which know what you are doing. I have more to add but havent gotten around to it yet is all.
- cheapsteak 13y agoThat is really awesome, bookmarked
- boyter 13y agoHope you find it useful :)
- tezza 13y agoThanks a lot, this is great. It looks like you have some excellent coverage, that's going to help with the arcane things ( like WinApi ). Some things I struggled with manually that your tool makes a lot easier: http://searchco.de/?q=GetMonitorInfo http://searchco.de/?q=GetMonitorInfo - get monitor configuration http://searchco.de/?q=UpdateLayeredWindow http://searchco.de/?q=UpdateLayeredWindow - alpha compositing windows http://searchco.de/?q=WTSRegisterSessionNotification http://searchco.de/?q=WTSRegisterSessionNotification - workstation lock / unlock events [Edit: Removed comment on infinite scroll ]
- boyter 13y agoThanks. The infinite scroll will be gone soon due to complaints. I personally like it but I see everyone else's point of view.
