"2. Search: It sits on a Google Search Appliance—and looks like Google, with classified ads on one side. It will index from a variety of places and give you one set of search returns for key words. Developing algorithms to be specific to SL. I think it will index text fields - so for example it will pick up data from parcel descriptions, profiles, event descriptions, etc." http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Bug_triage/2007-11-14/Transcript "[15:05] Kamilion Schnook: Would I be correct in assuming the new google mini appliances havn't finished indexing all the databases?" While they both may be out of context, I don't think so. LL has been trying to get away from home brew for the last year. I'll forward the reply from sldev when it comes through to keep from cluttering up the thread. And back to thread; Really, really nice job Jana/Solar. This opens up several possibilities including the afore mentioned Key2Group searches. As they say in South Texas: Muchos Gracias ![]() _____________________

Well that didn't take long!!!
Very knowledgeable source on sldev: "The new search is on a Google Appliance" This would also explain why the results are kind of spotty right now. Quite a chore to crawl through several million pages, not just users but classifieds etc. If you make a change in your profile it shows up right away in the People search box but not the google search results. Actually very, very good news. This means that eventually you will be able to get key of anyone even if they opt out of search. The results of your little widget script, when it is complete, will just become more and more reliable. _____________________

Is it possible to retrieve search results as XML? It looks as though this script currently picks apart raw HTML which could be problematic as it means any tweaks to the HTML can/will break this script for anyone that uses it.

...I thought it maybe was showing my personality till I realized my alt didn't have a profile picture... On that I couldn't possibly comment. However, v2 contains handling for AV's without a profile picture so you should now be able to check one way or the other ![]() /54/1b/225692/1.html |

AFAIK the specification of llHTTPRequest forbids it from being used to connect to Linden Lab's servers, so this is technically an exploit.

Have you heard a Linden complain? It has far less load then actually loading up the search page >.>
If they really have an issue with it, they can notify us through this thread, or simply ban the 4 HTTP servers from connecting. |

Is it possible to retrieve search results as XML? The final version of this will be using my own servers as their primary source. Any change to the HTML should be changed in a matter of minutes. Oddly enough, the only page that gets returned with a XML subset is the <not found> page. |

Exactly, that was my point - be careful using this because it might stop working permanently at some unknown time. Um, because nothing else on SL ever stops working permanently at unknown times.. well, you understand what I mean. ![]() |

...be careful using this because it might stop working permanently at some unknown time... Agreed. That is one (of two) reasons I decided to post my use of it in the 'Scripting Library', rather than making a potential commercial product ~ I didn't fancy having to spend time on refunds and/or handling disgruntled customer complaints at some unknown future time. In the meantime, however, I intend to enjoy it..... |

I've IM'd a few people to get more insight into the future of this. I've offered to write a true SL Search API in C++ for people to use the search database in their own SL-aware applications. |

Fascinating. Where did you find out about that domain, world.secondlife.com? Interestingly, http://world.secondlife.com/ with nothing else gives a long list of classifieds in XML format. Too bad the resident info isn't in XML.

Almost done with the API! Currently includes:
llGroupName2Key ret key [Reliable] llGroupKey2Name ret string [Reliable] llGetProfileData ret list [Semi - a user can opt out] llKey2Name ret string [Reliable] llName2Key ret key [Not even half of them are index, and if the format changes I have to update my own server before it will function. llLandSaleInfo re list [If your standing on land for sale, returns a list of information on it] ------Whats left------ I haven't even touched on the classifieds, events, and some other things that are there! Those will all be next. Date: Give me till saturday, sunday max. |

Currently includes: llGroupName2Key ret key [Reliable] I'm very curious how this is implemented, I played around with various search style functions and couldn't get this (or the equivalents) but wasn't trying very hard... I can see tons of uses for this in other areas _____________________

Top 5 Picks?
12-20-2007 08:19
Is there a way to find all 10?
In an effort to promote a store club or what ever, it would be cool to give discounts or gifts to those people that have a place in their Picks. Picks are about to become in high demand and I can see some value in giving people a reason to have places in their picks |

At the moment, there is no way to retrieve all 10, and even the 5 that do show up are only partials. Who knows, if they one day provide a search API it may appear.

currently you can see all 10, but it's usually past the parse limits of an inworld script... you could have a php script dissect the listing and then return a message as to whether or not your location is in there... and then return a result... but that could take more time than you want (returning a refund if found might be better, but if it fails you'll get annoyed customers)
