Title: Nefarious "Search" Button -how to / help with.
Post by: ᾦɐļᵲʊʂ on July 19, 2005, 12:15:41 PM
Admin edit:

The search function is working. Read this (http://xixax.com/index.php?topic=7892.msg323383#msg323383) for more info.



I'm not too sure on how to use the Search button efficiently.

I use it, but always get a lot of results that end up in me looking through thread after thread, or just a lot of unnecessary results.

How can I do an effective search?

(While I'm on it, I was trying to search for Thriller: A Cruel Picture to see what, if any discussion was about it... I seemed to remember a thread about it, and I tried thriller, thriller a cruel picture, they call her one eye, and so many other variations... does anyone know where this thread is located?)

when i use it i always click 'search for all terms' otherwise the search 'batman movie' will bring up all threads in which 'batman' or the more commonly used 'movie' appear.  when clicking the search for all, it will only bring up the threads in which those are used conjunctively.  also: if you are looking for something specific it's usually pretty easy to narrow down which forum it might be under and that also narrows down the results a bit.

let's just repost those two here so we can redirect to this page in the future..

HOW TO SEARCH
Quote from: Pubrick
Quote from: cronopiobut it is! sometimes, at least.


is it possible to improve the Search engine?  because i've noticed that  if you put more than 1 word in it,  it only searches for the first one.

::hangs himself to death::
ok i think it's time for a little tutorial on the use of the search engine. and what better place to give it than here in this random thread where it will be totally ignored.

the first thing u must always do is remove the dot from "Search for any terms or use query as entered" and click it on the option below it "Search for all terms".

for that to be effective, second most important thing to do is, BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE. say right now u were looking for best scenes, even if u "search for all terms" u will find that those words are used a lot in almost every thread. so u narrow it down by searching for  best scenes/sequences and u will find a few bogus threads but i guarrantee on the first page u will see the one that describes best what u were looking for.

third, if u get like 45 results, don't be afraid to scroll down and even click page two of the results page. u just hav to skim over the titles and find the one that best fits. sure enuff at least on the first page u'll get a thread that even redirects u to the one that is older and prolly on the 2nd page.

FOUR/Quatro, don't hav to master all the options and things that appear on the search screen, most are useless. these are common sense: if ur searching for an actor, to see if a thread has been made about them, on the FORUM option select IN FRONT OF CAMERA. if a director, THE DIRECTOR CHAIR. if a movie just came out on dvd look in Now Showing first, for sum crossover dvd details.

FIVE/finally, if looking for a specific quote or information. go to the Display Results As section and select POSTS. this will take u to the specific post where this info/line was mentioned. additionally, if u want to find sumthing like "What did MacGuffin think of HULK". u select POSTS and in Search for Author and type in MacGuffin,. this will give u every time MacGuffin mentioned HULK. this is great when searching for a XIXAX Kodak Moment, like search for (all terms) "pee in your mouth", Display as: Posts, and Search for Author: Kotte. and u will find the first time kotte told us his wonderful shocking story of young unrequited love.

From now on anyone who is redirected will be sent this post, as a reminder of how to use the search feature, and they can provide feedback on what failed/confused them. mostly i think it will be number 3.

This has been a Publick Service Announcement
"KNOW YOUR XIXAX"

HOW TO SEARCH pt 2.
Quote from: onomatavivaI don't know, it's generally really easy for me to find stuff.  Common sense, really, and an understanding of how the search engine works (and the search engine could be better -- sometimes it is hard for find what you're looking for, but usually you can get close enough).  I suspect P will probably come along and post his search tutorial here (in fact, here it is (http://www.xixax.com/viewtopic.php?p=118461&highlight=search+tutorial#118461)), but I thought I'd throw a few things up here:
  • Be specific, but not too specific.  Think of words you know would appear, but don't be too presumptuous.  My understanding of the search engine is it isn't very smart, but not totally retarded as to be useless.  It will find whole words, but never partial matches.
  • The more words, the better, up to a point.  If you're going to search for more than one word, make sure you check the second radio button that says "Search for all terms."  That's very important, essential even, for getting good results.  Random words relating to the topic help things.
  • Also try specifying what forum to look in, as well as who posted the subject.  Obviously it won't help too much if the author is MacGuffin, because he posts the most news, so it won't narrow things down too much.  But for something more specific, it helps a lot.  Like when flagpolespecial was commenting on PTA's Oscar hopes, I referred him to the PTA on Fight Club thread after for searching for mutinyco's response to PTA's reaction when losing the Oscar for Magnolia's screenplay.    I searched for something like "Magnolia Alan Ball" with author "mutinyco" and got my result.
  • Even better is you can narrow down your search even more by zeroing in on posts instead of topics by using that radio button.  Doing that for my example above shows the actual post mutinyco made, and if you change the number of characters returned to 1000 or so, you can see the whole thing.[/list:u]For your John Woo example, as P said, since the thing isn't official yet, your best course of action would be to type "John Woo" in the search box, choose "Search for all terms" and then scroll down on that page to John Woo's Director's Chair thread (http://www.xixax.com/viewtopic.php?t=5758&highlight=john+woo) and post the news there.  The Grapevine is for actual films in production.  Then you'd post the title of the film and inside the thread you'd say John Woo is directing it.  There's the subtle difference between Director's Chair and The Grapevine, as I understand it.  Once a movie gets released, it obviously gets moved to Now Showing.

Is it okay to complain about the fucking Search function here?

I did a search for Spurlocks TV series 30 Days.

I tried both '30 Days' and '30 days'. I did it with both All Terms and Any Terms. I got nothing!
When I searched for 'Spurlock' I got a thread titled '30 Days'.

It sucks!!!

Post by: ono on September 03, 2005, 06:19:41 AM
No, it's not okay to complain.

I don't understand, exactly, what you are complaining about.  You found the thread, didn't you?  Typing in Spurlock brings up the 30 Days thread.  You can't search for numbers.  That's all you need to know.  And since Days is so generic on its own, who knows what the search engine does with that.

Well, I didn't know that...
and isn't that a good reason for calling it crap?

I wasn't complaining because I couldn't find what I was looking for, I'm complaining because I searched for the thread called '30 Days' with the words '30 Days' but didn't get one result...and now I'm including this 'can't handle numbers' bullshit.

This thread hasn't been updated since the new forums were installed, so I thought I'd throw out a few pointers I've learned from when I've needed to search for something.

This new search engine sucks.  Let's get that out of the way.  Maybe it's that I'm not used to this one yet, but I've found you have to do a lot more digging to find what you want.  Given the guidelines P and I put up there, it was quite easy to rock the old one and find whatever's needed.  But this one is more temperamental.  Some tips:


Hope this helps.

was there formerly a thread for cell phones?

i seem to recall posting a picture of my i530, walrus asking for advice about which plans to get, and people posting pictures of their sexy new sony phones.

i can't locate it using the search function or by scanning the first two pages each of idle chatter and news and theory.

i've entered "cell" "phone" "cell phone" "cell phones" and "cellular" into the search box, all to no avail.

The story behind that is that the site has accumulated five years of content that it's sucking up the shared server when someone performs a Search, so Dreamhost has cut our Search function. I'll let Michael Wilson explain:

QuoteIn a nutshell, here's what's happened. We've known for a long time that the searches take too long and they often times don't work because the database is so big. And, because you're on a shared server with other users (probably hundreds of other sites), when one person on Xixax does a search, it locks out every other site on the same physical machine because Xixax's search is taking up 100% of the server's resources. So, Dreamhost disabled your search ability. Which allowed you to "play nice" with everyone else on the box. They're suggesting that you now get your own server. Which would make Xixax a nice, fast place to play, but it also costs about $100 per month. So basically, it looks like you have 2 choices. 1: Lock out the search feature completely, or 2: get a dedicated server.

This was once mentioned somewhere else, but I'll bring it back to the surface.

For an alternative search method, put "site:xixax.com" in a Google search. So if I wanted to find Xixax posts on Mates of State, my search would be "site:xixax.com mates of state (http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=site:xixax.com+mates+of+state&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)"

The catch is that it can't search the member-only forums, because they're not available to the Google bots. Idle Chatter, for example.

E: Well crap. That search doesn't find my July 29 post on Mates of State in this thread (http://xixax.com/index.php?topic=10708.0). Maybe the bots haven't come around in a while.

please search wisely, don't just type in a few non-specific words in the search bar at the top right of the screen, rather i suggest you click SEARCH which is a link on the top left next to HOME and HELP and try to narrow down your search by selecting only the forums you think might have the relevant information. to do this open the box marked " + choose board to search in" and uncheck the "check all" box.

FOR EXAMPLE if you wanna see if there's a thread for a certain movie, don't bother searching in all the technical forums, Now Playing, Idle Chatter or the Art gallery, etc. click the box for Now Showing and Other Movies. you'll get a quicker and more accurate result and you won't make the site's hosts notice that we're hogging all the bandwidth with endless fruitless searches for "a the with in and of to".. unless that's the name of the movie of course. (worst name for a movie ever).

Also, use quotes like they're going out of style. If you're searching for Almost Famous, it saves a lot of load on the system to search for just the phrase "almost famous" than to search for every instance of the word "almost" and every instance of the word "famous".

I don't know about anyone else, but the search had been working for me for the past few weeks up until a few days ago.

I'm having big ass problems with the search, everytime I look for something it logs me off! I guess it's been doing this to other ppl too? I'm pretty sure you can't do the google search anymore because that virus fucked everything up. Smh, We can't catch a break ..

Christmas has come 10 months early this year, kids!  Since our normal search feature is indefinitely borked, we are now offering a Google search bar, located at the bottom of the main page, which will open up a new tab full of the search results you so crave.

Guys, a little help, please. The other day I read this post here about movie podcasts. One of the users (can't remember who) even said he is part of one of the podcasts. Well, I can't remember neither the context nor the topic in which it was posted, and I'd love to listen to those. The search button didn't help that much, so I came to you, my fellow xixaxers... I will even let whoever helps me out watch me cream my pants.

Polka fixed the Google blank page bug, and our Google site search is reinstalled. You'll find it at the bottom of the main page, where it was before.

As stated in the other thread, the search function now works.

Please test it out and tell us if you encounter problems, or even slowness. Seems to be fast and functional so far.

And now that real Search is working like it's supposed to, I've removed the little Google search bar.

Remember that you can use either the full-fledged Search feature by selecting it on the top menu bar, or you use the quick Search that appears when the header is expanded (little arrow to the left of the marquee).
