A modest little engine, but you will
be amused by its presumption.
This engine searches hundreds of text files, each of which averages
about 50 kilobytes. It can handle only one or two terms in the search box.
If you violate this limitation and use three or more, it will treat it as
a single term inside of double quotation marks. This will probably mean
that you won't get any hits.
A term is a string of characters without a space. The space is used to
separate the two terms. However, if you want a term that includes spaces,
then force it to be defined as a single term by putting it inside of
double quotation marks. Now you can add a second term if you wish. Each
term must be three or more characters.
So far this is like Google, except for the limitation of two terms.
Where it is unlike Google is that this engine will hit on strings
inside of words. It does not index each file as a collection of words,
but instead scans lines of text for matching characters. For example,
each line leads with a date and time. Depending on how far into the date
and time you specify, you can use your first term to limit the search
to a particular month, or ten-day period, or specific day, or even
a specific hour or minute.
Three lines of context are shown for every hit. A link to the text
file is on top. To see more context, go to the text file and use your
browser's "find" to locate some text from the hit. Now you have about
50K of context, or about two hours of chat logs.
If your search does not produce any hits, a few seconds later this
engine will pass your search to Scroogle. Use your back button a couple
of times to get back to the Hive Mind for another search.
