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

Just as a final point - when you create a sourceforge project and 'go open source' you really need to do other stuff such as post the application up for download, check code into the cvs repository so people can get access etc.
Spelling the name of his own project correctly might have also been a good place to start.
Also, I keep having to hold myself back from filing an "ENHANCEMENT REQUEST - Add desktop search functionality to Desktop Search" bug.

Good point, wonder how he will find it again if he doesn't know where to look to begin...He could use his search to locate URLs: each time you access an interesting web-site, append the url to a text file. Then SSDS won't have any trouble finding it and it can be easily modified (if it already doesn't support that) to paste the matches to clipboard. There is nothing you can't do with it if you have the flow-charts.
Remember that SSDS can locate a keyword by the beginning and the end of the word. You can search for "spec/swamp" and it will find "specatateswamp" as well as "spectateswamp".
By the way: how does your favourite desktop search application compare to SSDS in searching the Web!?

To SpectateSwamp,
No one will ever be convinced! Stop this nonsense!
To all who have replied to this nonsense,
Thank [replace with leader of a religion to your choosing] this is 2008 and not some 100 years earlier and SS took the in obsessive interest in something he describes as Desktop Search. On top of that. He keeps referring to himself as the expert on that subject, no matter what everyone else is saying. What if it was the year 1900 or so and he was a self proclaimed medical expert? This idea alone boggles the mind and I'll leave it to the imagination of the reader to think of some horrible scenarios. Which might go like this:Dr. Doug has the solution to an illness taking down the masses: the yellow fever. After some ten years of experimenting Dr. Doug, who now calls himself YellowHead, creates his own pedestal on the town square of many towns and start rambling about having a cure for the worst disease known to the masses. But lo and behold he has a solution which has extracted from his swamp near his residence, which he refers to as his shack. In this shack he has his own (Very Big) chemical set (version 5) and he's mixing up a deadly medication a some recipies of hundreds of years back.
What if some of the masses tried this medication?I had a lot of fun reading all this 2000+ posts nonsense but it has to stop somewhere I think ... let's just all ignore him.
Finally I'd like to give you my interpretation of his definition on Desktop Search:
"Searching some text in a file using a desktop application."* turning off the email subsciption to this thread *

Because uploading his Cam Studio videos to Google Video unacceptably reduces the resolution/bit rate so that the text is impossible to read, and he thinks the only solution is to "re-shoot" the whole thing using his camcorder.
This is the same guy who posted his '93 Yellowhead election video by re-shooting the video that was already playing on a TV.
When all you have is a camcorder, everything looks like a....Fuck, I don't even know how to finish that sentence.
(The funniest thing is that he is violently opposed to video editing using software, yet he will happily "reshoot" videos playing on his laptop screen.)

To further clarify, somebody here asked him: "Why on earth are you shooting your laptop screen with a camcorder, why not use a decent screen capture utility like CamStudio?" He did, and Google Video made the resulting caps unreadable, so once again he COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT, and started re-shooting his Cam Studio videos with his camcorder.

Yes, everyone enjoys their new toys! When you've got a new camcorder, you've got to video in everything you think of, no matter how pointless it is!

No, no, no. That is a speed version, not a speedy version. You need a different version to use when you are high on speed. Come on!

Never heard of Gambas, never had a need for running VB stuff (and SS, I still don't see a need to run your VB program...).

SSDS could get Faster

It's fast but could be faster. The early executables had less baggage and I'm sure those versions would run faster. Maybe a re-write into C, would get speeds in the 40,000,000cps range.So, the current version must be slow then.

Or, yanno, someone could just use one of the existing tools that already functions. Seems to me that it would take less time then rewriting something that is fundamentally broken written by someone who REFUSES to patch and fix his own bugs. I guess that makes me insane though.

Yes, if only there was some way to search for these things. Hell, something built right in to the site might even work. But alas, such a thing does not and will never exist. Maybe if we all start now we could come up with something before 2018 (basing my estimates on SSDS dev time).

It is not your fault. That's because you aren't an expert on search. Without a day of training at the SwampShack. You know HorseShit. But I can see you're heading the right way. Maybe you port SwampSearch to C. RepeatSwamp. You're not as hopeless as MPSwamp.

Exactly. It is that same weird vibe you get when a lecherous old man calls a girl "Sweetheart". Nothing wrong with it on paper, but it makes your spine jump out of your body due to all the insinuations and previous behavior.
Also, maybe the fundemental disconnect we are all having with him really IS over the definition of desktop search - except he thinks desktop search means "searching for the bodies under the shack where my desk is". To the masses, indeed.

Hahaha you responded to someone mimicing you with almost the same type of bullshit. You are just too much.
Please provide proof or reproducable tests / perf data for how Cam Studio is a system hog. Are you starting to get it through you thick skull that in computing, you can't JUST THROW OUT RANDOM STATEMENTS THAT YOU CAN'T BACK UP. Computers crunch numbers. Because they crunch numbers, you can measure how fast they crunch numbers. You CANNOT just make statements and expect everyone to believe, especially after the number of times you have been proven to be a liar and a fake. How can we trust you AT ALL?
Yes, your "random" does suprise me, every time. But it shouldn't. Instead of random, how about answering some specific questions?

That video is completely unreadable and useless. I have no idea what it is trying to show. How many times now have you been told this, and asked to stop?
What you NEED to do is get a basic understanding of the field you are working in, and actually learn how to collect and present data. How have you existed "in the industry" for decades without having even the most basic understanding of computing?
I asked for data, I got a blurry olive colored video. What did I expect?

Swamp stumbles into Lazy Forum
LazySwamp is a name that may apply to the whole forum. Fill out the CVS, make a video of that. Show us right from startup. Quit repeating yourself. Answer all the dumb questions... Bla bla. Somebody else do the Source Forge stuff. Probably an attempt at sending Swamp search away. You still need some good videos demonstrating navigation thru video music pics text. Wow doesn't that excite you.
