I hate metadata I've never heard of it till these dumb forums.

And you claim to be a search genius without even being aware of common terms and ideas, you don't need to agree with them but to be taken seriously you need to be aware of current thinking in an area you claim expertise. By current I mean the past 20 or 30 years in this case.

It is a data structure you are using to speed up thefinding of your mp3, video and image files, therefore it is an index by definition.

Thats true but searching thousands of files spread all over your disk; that you are never ever going to send out again, is just pure silly. Why wouldn't I just search 1 file. Much faster than locating all the required pieces of MmDee and searching them individually. That's why SSDS is so fast; at times it is soo fast It will just make you laugh.

I have files for reasons other than sending out! My source code is organised into separate files to make it cleaner and more maintainable - these never get sent out but I might occasionally need to search them. I have documents relating to work, past projects, mp3s images and so on that are all separate files for a good reason. Why would I want to merge these into one file when I can find and use them perfectly well as separate files?

An automated indexing tool like WDS with collect the meta data automatically and not require me to do it by hand hence it is easier and less effort for me.

We all realise you struggle with concepts such as "more than 1" but not everybody wants to work in a world of one file in one folder.

Given your inability to really answer or respond to comments I am honestly not that sure you have ever read anything anyone has posted anyway.

@SpectateSwamp said:

Question: What is the file size MAX that Google Bing YaHoo have for TEXT files.

Irrelevant.

1. Your very large text file is an index, and should be compared to Google/Yahoo/Bing's index, which is decidedly larger than a single consumer hard drive, such as yours.

2. SDSS does not automatically index the contents of any other text file, so it has no code to handle any size files, so the question is moot.

The only term Gore "coined" (or at least made popular) was "Information Superhighway" which comes from the Latin informatio, meaning to conceive, and supra meaning above.

Nope - the text files that are created using gf in mp3, video, jpeg files etc are used by SSDS to locate the original files - QED it is an index.

I have no huge text files on my system therefore it is a moot point, if I did SSDS might fail if they had a short or long extension or see my sig for what else can happen.

@SpectateSwamp said:

Question: What is the file size MAX that Google Bing YaHoo have for TEXT files. If you can answer this (I'll check your results) then I know you are doing something

Assuming you mean their desktop search offerings, the maximum filesize is the maximum filesize of the OS. I know it goes over 2GB; to do otherwise would be silly.

Oh, and interestingly enough, SSDS will be limited to 2GB, since Pre .NET VB only uses a single Long variable to represent file offsets, and doesn't use the "ex" equivalent functions (GetFileSizeEx, WriteFileEx, etc) Only way to remedy that would be to simply not use the built in file access functions and statements. That's what I do.

Anyway, I better summarize the about for ol' SS: SDSS cannot use a text file larger then 2GB or create one larger then 2GB. although if you have a 2GB text file you probably need a psychologist.

Question: Just who is the JackAss that first came up with that MD word.

Metadata? It's a word, it's basically data describing other data; for example, MP3 tags and file indexes and so forth.

Your text file is a file index; it describes data about other data, therefore it is metadata. Hell, if you think about it, even a filename could be described as a sort of metadata; same with the folder layout. The fact that you have trouble pronouncing the word doesn't really invalidate it, since it's been used for ages.

data is a greek word; so is meta. hell, a good portion of the words you use everyday originate from the greek language. Except Noodle. That came from latin. (Nodus).

Also we must bear in mind that SDSS is not going to ever run on any other platform; only windows. your constant parroting that some swampie will do it is plain ignorance. you ignore any sort of coding standards and yet believe people are going to want to <add> features to it?

You go on to say how easy it is to port, and yet you cannot even get it working in a newer version of the same language (VB6).

regarding the link.... well, now I have to rename my search program. no bloody way am I going to have the same executable name as SDSS, even if I knew enough to give the program a proper icon. (a magnifying glass may be cliche for search programs but it's a hell of a lot better then the little form image you get by default)

Indexers can't search much - Not like SSDS

I was pretty sure nobody would come up with any realistic file size results. Or maybe not even give it a try. Too too bad.

Found these notes from a couple years back. Used the "xxx" option at prompt #2 creating the output results into "replace.txt" I just knew if it wasn't in my huge Merge.txt file. Nobody could find it. Anyway You should start with files in this range. To do the test. They may have improved lately. We can only hope. Those numbers are miserable.

I used the Search to merge a few large txt files into one, with a
special search key placed near the end.
Maximum indexing file size for these search engines is as follows:
(1) Yahoo would not index a 81MB text file
(2) Google would not index a 44MB text file
(2.5) Exalead would not index a 19.78MB text file.
(3) Microsoft would not index a 1.1MB text file

Who cares though? an 81M file is not a typical file size for sane people, only people who fail to understand file systems and how to organise things properly are likely to reach that size anyway. Then again I bet they can search files with no extenstion, or a single character extension or 5 or more character extensions, or pdf, xls, xml, doc, png, gif, wmv, jpg and flac files as well for starters.
