Why is Everybody so clueless on the importance of Desktop Search to the Masses?



  • @bstorer said:

    Ah, yes... that internet connection to 127.0.0.1 probably took FOREVER to establish...
     

    HAHA I didn't even look at that... Nice one.

    Spectate... how do you propose this is impossible now?

    (Not that I really think Spectate knows what 127.0.0.1 is anyway!)



  • Swamp Search looking for Favorites ***

    @CodeSimian said:

    For the common man, however, indexing is VERY useful.

    No doubt about it. But Indexers do have their limits. Use SSDS in conjunction with your indexer if you must. We now know that your merged files won't be looked at (too big). And in this case they shouldn't be. Maybe even keep your secret info at the end of the big merge file. But a beginner should get to know SSDS first then picking up the rest will be easy. They will be confident in the fact that with Swamp search and their limited knowledge of search. They are still OK and way ahead of some in controling their video, pictures music text and lives. No doubt SSDS could use a few simple extractor apps. A good outlook email extract would make somebody one of my favorites.  


  • @SpectateSwamp said:

    Damn good assumption.

     

    You wanna really know why people are mean to you?  I don't know if you've noticed, but every forum you've spammed seems to go through several stages:

    1) Disbelief ("What the fuck is this guy smoking?")

    2) Sympathy ("Don't bother him, he probably fell on his head as a young child")

    3) Attempts at Politeness ("Thanks for the information Swamp, but we're really not interested".)

    4) Increasing Annoyance ("Okay, we're REALLY NOT INTERESTED, thanks for trying out, see you next year.")

    5) Anger ("SERIOUSLY, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR VIEWS ON VIDEO, EDITING, OR SEARCH. PLEASE STOP TALKING.")

     

    See, when people try to be nice to you and you continue to ANNOY them, that's when people stop being nice.

  • @SpectateSwamp said:

    I just merge every file I could find on c:\ with the 'merge' to do .txt .htm .frm .cls and any program language source (all plain text)
     

    Well, my machine here has a C drive. It also has D, E, F, G, H, J, K, W, X, Y and Z drives. D and E are cd/dvd drives, so you can safely ignore them, but the others are all hard disks or solid state drives of one kind or another.

    So do you merge every plain text file on C, F, G, H, J, K, W, X, Y and Z? Can SSDS even DO that?

     

    On top of that, how do you find the files to merge them? 



  • Swamp Search Have it Both ways

    @CodeSimian said:

    You moron, SSDS doesn't allow you to keep all your data in plain text, it forces you to.

    No you keep both. One easy to search and perminent and the other beautiful and fleeting.

    @CodeSimian said:

    If SSDS does EVERYTHING, it should be able to export emails to plain text from common mail clients.  For example, Thunderbird already uses a structured text format (Unix mbox).  You should be able to read the spec online and figure out how to extract emails from Thunderbird.

    Me do this me do that. How about some of you getting off you butts and Help us Swampies get out emails out to text without forwarding then cuting and pasting then alt/tab and "z" at Prompt #2. Or is it mostly AIR here. No action. All the hours wasted by me. doing my emails was time that could have been better spent.

     @CodeSimian said:

    Yes, proprietary data formats are a real issue. No, exporting all your data to unstructured plain text and using SSDS to search it is not the answer.

     

    But now it is an option. With Open Source Old Spectate Swamp isn't holding a gun to your data. Move and I'll shoot this data.

     

    @CodeSimian said:

    You never answered my question before - once all your mail is in inmail.txt, can you re-import it into Outlook Express (or any other mail client)?  No, because you have thrown away VALUABLE INFORMATION when you copied and pasted to text.
    If you wanted to keep those emails. Then move them to another folder and out of the way. When the export to text for those emails are done. Move em to that archive email folder. Text is nothing keep duplicates triplicates many multiples. if you want. It's video that chews up disk space.

    I already gave you a link to an app that exports your emails, you ingrate:

    You are the one who wants everyone to use SSDS.  Nobody asked you for anything before you came here to pimp SSDS. 

    And NOBODY IS FORCING YOU TO COPY AND PASTE YOUR EMAIL TO PLAIN TEXT.  All those wasted hours are on you.

    a) You are incredibly stupid for using a camcorder to video your screen. I am not that dumb. You will never see me do that. Nor will you see anyone else with an IQ over the single digits.

    c) If you paid attention to the other replies, the author pointed out the address in the browser is 127.0.0.1. That is localhost. That means it was all on his computer. No internet involved. There is nothing to not believe there.

    The problem you have here is that we're all computer savy.  We see this code, and this program, and your crackpot claims, and we immediately (and correctly) identify it as worthless.  Maybe you should take this program to the sort of people unfamiliar enough with computers not to see it as the piece of crap it is.  The only people who qualify as computer illiterate enough are Luddites and the Amish.  So hop a horse and visit them.  And maybe you could just never come back?

    What is Express Archiver ?

    Express Archiver is a program that allows users to archive their mails if they use Microsoft's most popular mail program, Outlook Express. This process is very easy and, depending on the options you choose, the resulting archives can be read with any text editor or browser.

    Do you have Tourette's Syndrome? 



  • SpectateSwamp, I've been holding back on saying this to you but:
    It's so-called programmers like you who think just because computers are fast that they have every right to use every single resource in sight that their program wants. Unless you're doing some graphics rendering or some complex computational task, there's no excuse to use anywhere near half of the processor just searching text.

    I thought you worked on VAX systems, where resources were thin, if you truely did work on VAX systems, you'd have a concept of what I'm talking about and be actively working to optimize your program and reduce it's time it needs  to be searching. This is why indexing was created, to reduce the time to wait for results, As computers' speeds grow, so do files. However, you should do your part and don't waste unnessasary CPU cycles.

  • @SpectateSwamp said:

    If I was Swamp Search I would. 20 books a second. By tomorrow I'd need another library to search.
     

    Except SSDS wouldn't work in a library. Each book is basically an individual file. You only search one file, so first you'd have to spent a few days gluing all the books together so they're one giant book. But oops... now the "book" doesn't fit into the building anymore because it's way too long to fit onto any shelf, so most of the "book" has to be stored outside. But oops, now it's raining, so your "file" is dissolving.

    So, trying to make the library's setup conform to SSDS's operational requirements just forced the library to destroy 99% of its collection.

    Or if you treated the books as video, first you'd have to spend a couple years typing up

    book Title:War and Peace Author:Tolstoy ISBN:x-xxx-xxxx-xx Publisher:Knopf Copyright:1907 Shelf:3rd From Left and Down two

    for each and every book in the library into your search.txt, BEFORE you could start searching for stuff. And then you can forget trying to search for a character's name, because first you'd have to READ the book to find all the names and type those up too.

  • This thread is epic.



  •  Swampy,

    Can you demo me how you would find a word in a textfile with SSDS, and edit this word in the original file after you found it with SSDS?



  • @SpectateSwamp said:

    Copernic is slow because it tries to read the whole file into memory. Swamp search just scans for matches and keeps a few context lines, if in "c" search mode not "s" matching lines only mode. Plowing along at 20Mb per second. Do the math. You'll know I'm not pulling these numbers out of thin air.
     

    So where does SSDS read it from then? Or does scanning a file somehow magically avoid the file system?

    @SpectateSwamp said:


     No. your are right. But now it's an option. And open source code as well. Swamp search is now just spreading its wings. Other developers can take over.

    No, you are making it a requirement not an option, no other tool or search would force me to use such strange practices - SSDS does therefore I choose not to use it.

     @SpectateSwamp said:

    and assuming I know nothing. I just merge every file I could find on c:\ with the 'merge' to do .txt .htm .frm .cls and any program language source (all plain text) SSDS allows you to have a little memory lapse and still find stuff. Believe me.

    But then you wouldn't be able to find the original file, so merging all these files into one means I could search one big file for the method I need to update - but I have not found it in my source files. How would I then locate the original file after SSDS has done it's 'Search'. Also could you give the steps required to merge all the files in a directory tree that is about 4 levels deep and contains over a 1000 files.

    SSDS requires odd syntax to do anything and would require the user to scrap their way of doing things and fit with your model of how things should be done - this isn't a good start for SSDS.

    If people want to keep information secret then they should encrypt (or cript) it - this isn't difficult either under windows and 3rd party tools can make it easier still (truedisk is an excellent example).

    Rather than extractor apps and requiring merges SSDS should be able to search the data in place - simple as that.

    But why would you every want to index every book in a library on your PC isn't that OVERKILL? But SSDS could handle it. With a few MODS and backgrounder apps running extracts. those extracts being picked up by any dummy program even SSDS. The Great SSDS. Full context. High Speed Desktop Search for libraries. Somebody should do it.

    Because I have a lot of technical and reference manualsin pdf format I find being able to search them usefule, sometimes I need to dig up information on a term and not be aware of all the pdfs that are relevant - WDS works fine in locating all the documents. You are now saying SSDS could handle this if it was changed to behave in a different way, backgrounder apps and running extracts do not exist in ssds currently.

    Copernic is slow because it tries to read the whole file into memory. Swamp search just scans for matches and keeps a few context lines, if in "c" search mode not "s" matching lines only mode. Plowing along at 20Mb per second. Do the math. You'll know I'm not pulling these numbers out of thin air.
     

    You said before that your SSDS reads the entire file into memory, then iterates over all the content again and then displays some results. That means, that while Copernic reads the file into memory once, your reading it even twice! You are pulling these numbers out of thin air! And that is why SSDS is fucking SLOW compared to any other search method.

    Also you are saying that Desktop Search applications should be called desktop FIND applications because they tell you where you can find your matches. In replies to my posts you have repeatedly stated that FINDING means SEEING stuff (you said something like "you didn't find anything until you see it"). 

    These two facts (and there are more in this thread) lead me to the following conclusion:
