Just less than 60 seconds to go, i am hyperventilating here. . . . .burning fuel and already starting to fume with anger
Re: A New Search Engine by Nobody: 12:00am On May 09, 2016
Ha! my granda clock just started singing 12 midnight, this is not going to be funny at all. Let me go and sleep first. . . . . . .but you know that i will surely be back (and not even a ban can stop me)
Re: A New Search Engine by peterjero(m): 12:27am On May 09, 2016
Still with you
Re: A New Search Engine by Nobody: 12:53am On May 09, 2016
@op, you might be facing an e-firing squad in the morning if care is not taken. I am loading my e-guns right now.
Re: A New Search Engine by Nobody: 5:22am On May 09, 2016

Sleep catch the bros. He dozed off on his pc as he was about to launch.
Re: A New Search Engine by Nobody: 6:54am On May 09, 2016
I have loaded my boko-haram/fulani e-guns already, waiting patiently for the OP to show up and then let him have it. . . .

@OP, you don't need to be afraid, just come out with it already even if it is not yet perfect. Rome was not built in a day you know?
I hope I am not scaring you with my mouth sha? I am just trying to encourage you ni o - in my own rather crazy way.
@least i have not e-killed anyone on this board so far (except maybe maybe that phd programmer dude but he lives again or so i have been told).

Guys, information reaching me says that OP has been in the filling station since yesterday afternoon queuing to buy fuel @ N86/Litre.

If there is a snake in the search engine, it must surely reach frontpage.

Wait, before programming section is disgraced on FP, @OP, you need to see my evaluation - this thing is not a search engine!!!

Issues:

1. Due to unscalable large image, it does not scale well to some certain small screens. Resize your browser to see. So i will say it is semi-responsive.

2. The search dey tale too much - even when it has no result to show.

3. The search does not save the searched data into the browser. So if you search and was able to get results to show, refreshing the browser will 'lost your result' so you got to search all over again.

4. Due to error number 3, you cannot bookmark a search result page.

5. I cannot see any search result even when i used popular keywords like goat, oloshi.

6. When you search and the search thing start rolling (sometimes for like 20 minutes - without showing results), you cannot cancel the search and search for another thing.

7. I observed that nairaland is already submitted to the search engine - and yet i cannot search for anything on nairaland and have the result displayed.

8. When you search for something and it does not exist, the search engine just keep quiet.

It is freaking slow. . . . . . . . .and slugggggish. . . . . .

Disclaimer: I mean no offence but it is what i saw that i say, if you are in doubt, please check for yourself.
Re: A New Search Engine by guru01(m): 9:28am On May 14, 2016
Lol, thanks for the feedback.
1. I plan to roll out mobile view version soon.

2. Will look into this, although the database is still not as robust as other popular search engine, but it will get there. Still indexing content. I use title,description and url for now to display content for now, in the future more robust algorithm will be rolled out. Try searching for something more realistic like php, sitepoint, nairaland. Also will work on the speed, just don't want to mix things up, will introduce caching later...

3. It uses ajax to fetch content and doesn't append the search query to the url. Open to idea on this one, but will still work on it.

4. Same with item 3 above.

5. Same with item 2 above.

6. Your internet might be too slow, will see how to improve user experience.

7. Ok, just need more improvement in retrieving result.
Re: A New Search Engine by Nobody: 10:21am On May 14, 2016
- That is another thing, regular search engines don't use ajax - they use <form method="get"> that way, a user can refresh search results, modify, bookmark etc
- As for my internet being slow, adonbilivit

- So you mean searching for goat is not realistic? Well i searched for fulani, php and even nairaland - no result!!!!

I believe we need other testers. . .

Is okay, i look forward to that. Because by the time we submit like 100,000,000,000 websites to it, what then?

Question: why should people use this search that it cannot even find a common word like goat, monkey-banana, boko haram, fulani herdsmen, i killed a snake, tiwa savage, boko haram? When they can use google, bing and gazzilions of search engines?
