Why is Everybody so clueless on the importance of Desktop Search to the Masses?
I have been building this Desktop Search since 1999.
The visual basic code is Open Source and the exe is
downloadable.I have been blogging and yapping about search in various
forums. Only to meet with Great resistance.When I can organize my video, music, pictures and text
there isn't another program that I really need. With
Open Source and this Desktop Search the Operating System
becomes irrelevant.It started as a text search, then picture display was added
when we scanned in 5000+ old family album pictures.When a search match was found and the next line, had the path
to a picture. That picture was displayed. It runs manual and
as a screen saver. After a few seconds the caption on the picture
can be displayed or not.Then came VIDEO. With slow motion, Freeze frame with Preset or
Random start points in the video (mpeg2). Similar options were
added for music files (mp3)Video is by far the most exciting part of Search. I can video
in a book and go directly to a given page and play that back
in slow motion. I can video in forum screens.It has other important features any Search should have.
Ie EXTRACT. I do a context search for a particular "Subject:"
in my outmail file to build a mailing list from old emails. Then
I search that file in matching lines only mode; searching for "To:"
and I have all the email addresses in an output file. A little editing
removing duplicates etc and I have a clean list. I duplicate that
info with a cut and paste. resort it. The plug the required info
for my search in front of line 1 and 2 rather quickly.If the Next line is a URL or strictly text, that data can be put in
the clipboard for pasting into a browser or as a search string or for
storing passwords.It can run background copies of itself and has some primitive
navigation capabilities. That could make for a wonderful video
training tool.It has no database and can easily be explained to the common man.
All they need to know about computing is, how to use this program.
(Very Simple, I'll do more training video.)Thanks

RE: Why is Everybody so clueless on the importance of Desktop Search to the Masses?
Detailed archiving of your info; be it family albums or music files will be an ongoing task but well worthwhile.
With a few keystrokes you can automatically catalog existing "MPG" video, "MP3" audio, "JPG" pictures and "TXT" email records & notes etc.
Moments later you will be randomly sampling your data treasures.It takes some time for Your personal database to become large enough to make searching interesting. If your memory is short then not so long.
This app plows through text files at 20,000,000 CPS and beyond on a 8 year old LapTop..
I have completed over 4 Dozen Telephone and CableSystem billing conversions (ETL) 95% of that data came
in text files, a small percent was packed integer and real numbers etc. The Export data included toll files, work orders, customer details etc. These data were no problem for this app.Many of these IT jobs were for some of the largest companies in the Western Canada and US.
The so called "Big Data" isn't that BIG for today's computers. I have more personal data than all the ETLs combined!!!To keep You in touch with the massive amounts of DATA you'll collect; the app can randomly sample Video or audio segments as easily as family pictures.
Text data can be displayed "in context" or "matching lines only" along with match counts, line counts and elapsed time.Without a Random option; computer resources go unused and your data mining tools will fall short.
Video playback options such as Fast Forward, Slow Motion and Large font captioning mixed with Video segments are a few of the
main features. There is no more useful app than this.See the thread "nobody shares knowledge better than this" for all the details

RE: Nobody shares knowledge better than this
Back to gathering knowledge... With Video.
I just purchased an adapter from the camcorder to a telescope...
There are game trails in the hills around here and talk of Sasquatch.
I'll be able to hunt critters from my rocking chair..For night time video I purchased a 8" disco ball.
A friend has a very intense spot light.
Combine that ball with a security mirror and you have a portable yard light.. Better than any night vision.When I look at the disco ball box I want to bust a move or two..

@SpectateSwamp Oh that's right. I forgot. You like to combine all of your text files into one gigantic blob of shit, but your videos are a million 5-second long little tiny shit nuggets.
Yes but those nuggets are FAST.

To share Knowledge or food... SuperSize for best results.
Yup I'll make garage sized 3D copies of all 3 stones. Better than any roadside attraction. They will have to fit on a tractor trailer truck. Maybe even make small pendants of the 12 Megaliths. Changing size of your knowledge makes sharing just that much easier. -

Nobody shares the Panama Papers better
CMS and the Panama Papers
People want to see this stuff bad.
They don't want some watered-down pre-screened dribble from Govt or Journalists.
Give Us the data. On the Cloud in searchable sortable data sets. It's that simple!
All we want is the data. Give it to us Now!...Here is how I'd like to see the Panama Papers on the cloud.
FIRST! How to distribute the "EMAILS" for quick easy access by the populace.
Lets start with a large text file containing important email info that can be quickly searched, SORTed, extracted, searched and examined etc...
A subset containing:
Date time of each email
Sender Id
Subject: info
First and Last (50 characters) of the email message. (salutation and closing details)
For a total of 200 to 300 characters per record - easily SORTable and small.Multiply that by 11,000,000 (the number of e-mails) for file size.
Have the option of downloading the file or View it on the host Cloud Site...
Being able to search this Email data in 1 or more files would be a great start for anyone interested in the Panama Files.
SECOND! Pictures and Images. Let people randomly peruse these images.. Because People are nosey..
Give users the option of creating a wiki like document for each image file and what emails they may be associated with.
come on we want names and details. People out there know far more than what's in the existing data horde.
Along the way we'll be creating a massive wiki like record base of links, videos, pictures for a more thorough Panama Papers investigation.NOTE: There are files and video formats that this App does not deal with. BUT those specific file types
can be randomly selected and passed through the CLIPBOARD to another App that can handle, play / display them.Investigators can search this huge library of info, only downloading those relatively few specific records for viewing or storing?
Why aren't we seeing something similar? This Cloud System could be Up in a few days. What's up? Is there data hoarding, redacting going on?

In quora I asked:
Is Search / Googling destroying the planet? INDEXING uses too much energypoe responded...
The process of indexing and searching the vast amount of information on the internet does require energy, but it is important to consider the broader context and impact of this technology on the environment.
While indexing and maintaining search engines do consume energy, the energy usage associated with these processes is relatively small compared to other sectors such as transportation or manufacturing. Companies like Google have made significant efforts to improve the energy efficiency of their data centers and infrastructure. They have invested in renewable energy sources and implemented various strategies to reduce their carbon footprint.
It's also worth noting that search engines and online information retrieval systems have enabled significant advancements in various fields, including education, research, and innovation. They have facilitated access to knowledge and allowed people to connect and collaborate across the globe. These benefits have to be weighed against the environmental impact.
That being said, as technology continues to advance, it is crucial to prioritize sustainability and explore ways to minimize the environmental footprint of digital services. This includes adopting renewable energy sources, optimizing data center efficiency, and promoting responsible use of resources. It is a collective effort that involves both technology companies and individuals to mitigate the environmental impact of digital technologies.
Give us a better answer....
I did find a little info...
Every time a person runs a Google search, watches a YouTube video or sends a message through Gmail, the company's data centers full of computers use electricity. Those data centers around the world continuously draw almost 260 million watts — about a quarter of the output of a nuclear power plant. -

Nobody shares unstructured data better than this..
I posted on Quora
Scanning the other 80% that's unstructured data… Computings holy grail?Poe Answered....
Scanning and analyzing unstructured data is indeed a significant challenge in the field of computing. Unstructured data refers to information that does not have a predefined data model or does not fit neatly into traditional databases or spreadsheets. Examples of unstructured data include text documents, social media posts, images, videos, and audio recordings.
Extracting meaningful insights from unstructured data has been a long-standing goal in computing, often referred to as the "holy grail" of data analysis. The reason behind this quest is that unstructured data accounts for a significant portion of the information available in the digital world. By some estimates, up to 80% of all data is unstructured.
Unlocking the potential of unstructured data can provide valuable insights and opportunities for businesses, research, and various other domains. For example, analyzing customer reviews and social media posts can help companies understand customer sentiment and preferences. Analyzing medical records and research papers can aid in identifying patterns and trends in healthcare. Extracting information from images and videos can enhance security and surveillance systems, among many other applications.
However, the challenge lies in developing sophisticated algorithms and technologies that can effectively process and analyze unstructured data. Natural language processing (NLP), machine learning, computer vision, and other AI techniques have made significant progress in recent years, but there is still much work to be done.
While the potential benefits of analyzing unstructured data are immense, it's important to note that it is not a magic solution that can automatically solve all problems. There are technical, ethical, and privacy considerations that need to be carefully addressed. Additionally, the sheer volume and complexity of unstructured data can pose challenges in terms of storage, processing power, and scalability.
Overall, while scanning and making sense of unstructured data is a monumental task, it holds great promise for advancing our understanding of the world and enabling new applications and insights.

AI give me Our Data.. Sorry We can't do that Spectate
With this text the AI forums refused posting...How about a data dump that the rest of us can search..
That is all AI really has is the data we give you...
How of the total data available, do you have?
You can only get data through Indexed search engines like google and facebook.
And that is a small percentage of what is out there...

Will the Rise of AI usher in the demise of the Education system - medical system - legal system and Religion? I surely hope so.The impact of AI on various aspects of society, including the education system, medical system, legal system, and religion, is a topic of ongoing debate and speculation. While AI has the potential to bring significant changes, it is unlikely to completely eliminate these systems. Here's a brief overview of how AI might influence each area:
Education System: AI can enhance education by providing personalized and adaptive learning experiences, automating administrative tasks, and offering intelligent tutoring systems. However, human teachers play a crucial role in fostering critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and social skills, which are difficult for AI to replicate fully. It is more likely that AI will augment and transform education rather than replace it entirely.
Medical System: AI has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by improving diagnostics, drug discovery, and treatment planning. It can assist healthcare professionals in analyzing medical images, predicting disease outcomes, and identifying patterns in patient data. However, the expertise and empathy of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers remain essential for patient care, forming a collaborative relationship with AI systems.
Legal System: AI can automate certain legal tasks, such as document review, legal research, and contract analysis, potentially increasing efficiency and reducing costs. However, complex legal decision-making, ethical judgments, and courtroom advocacy require human judgment, interpretation of the law, and consideration of broader societal values. AI may support legal professionals, but it is unlikely to replace them entirely.
Religion: Religion involves complex matters of faith, belief, spirituality, and community, which are deeply rooted in human experiences and cultural traditions. While AI might provide information and analysis on religious texts or rituals, it is unlikely to supplant the role of religious leaders, spiritual guides, or the personal experiences and beliefs of individuals. Religion is a deeply personal and multifaceted aspect of human life that transcends the domain of AI.
In summary, while AI will undoubtedly impact various systems, it is more likely to augment and transform them rather than bring about their demise. Human expertise, judgment, and the unique aspects of these domains are likely to remain essential in the foreseeable future.

The Return of Elders - Healers - Mystics & their Clutch --- Signals The End of Education?????
We do Our very best at having the trainees surpass Us... Makes Me proud.
Only practical stuff is taught.
Education destroys lives by assigning kids to the dumb class. Boo Education.
I'm gonna teach my search engine... To my Dumb friends first...... love ya.
It's quite simple ... Really.
Here is what poe says:
The return of elders, healers, mystics, and their wisdom does not necessarily signal the end of education. While these individuals may possess valuable knowledge and insights, education serves a broader purpose in society.Education is a systematic process aimed at imparting knowledge, skills, and values to individuals, typically through formal institutions such as schools and universities. It encompasses a wide range of subjects and disciplines, including science, technology, mathematics, humanities, and more. Education provides a structured framework for learning, critical thinking, and acquiring skills necessary for personal and professional development.
The return of elders, healers, and mystics can certainly enrich the educational experience. Their wisdom and unique perspectives can offer valuable insights that complement traditional academic knowledge. They may provide alternative ways of understanding the world, offer guidance on spirituality, or share cultural traditions and practices that are not typically part of formal education.
However, education also serves important functions that go beyond the wisdom of specific individuals. It fosters innovation, promotes scientific advancements, and equips individuals with the necessary skills to navigate an ever-changing world. Education provides a foundation for individuals to develop their own critical thinking abilities, engage in research, and contribute to the progress of society.
In summary, the return of elders, healers, mystics, and their wisdom can contribute to education by offering unique perspectives and insights. However, education as a whole encompasses a broader range of subjects and aims to equip individuals with diverse skills and knowledge necessary for personal growth and societal progress.
I said many would disagree and Poe said:
Indeed, opinions may vary on this topic, and there are different perspectives regarding the role of elders, healers, mystics, and their impact on education. Some individuals and communities may place a greater emphasis on the wisdom and teachings of these figures, considering them to be the primary or even sole sources of knowledge and guidance.
In such contexts, the return of elders, healers, and mystics may be seen as a significant shift in the role of formal education. It could be interpreted as a recognition of the value of traditional wisdom and a desire to prioritize alternative forms of knowledge transmission.
It's important to recognize that education systems can differ greatly across cultures and societies. In some cases, formal education may be perceived as inadequate or insufficient in addressing the holistic needs of individuals. As a result, communities may place greater emphasis on the knowledge and teachings of their elders, healers, and mystics.
However, it's worth noting that formal education systems have evolved over centuries to meet the changing needs of societies. They incorporate a wide range of disciplines, subject areas, and pedagogical approaches aimed at fostering critical thinking, innovation, and preparing individuals for various professional fields. Formal education also plays a crucial role in promoting equity and providing equal opportunities for individuals to access knowledge and skills.
Ultimately, whether the return of elders, healers, and mystics signals the end of education or not depends on the specific cultural and societal context in question, as well as individual perspectives and beliefs. It's a complex topic with no single definitive answer.

RE: Nobody shares knowledge better than this
I know these limits are low..
What you don't upload or isn't indexed you can't searchWhat are the limits that Google Facebook and the rest have on file size primarily?
Poe
As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Google and Facebook have certain limitations on file size when it comes to uploading and sharing files on their platforms. However, it's important to note that platform policies and technical specifications can change over time, so it's advisable to refer to the official documentation or support pages of Google and Facebook for the most up-to-date information.Google Drive, the file storage and synchronization service provided by Google, imposes certain limits on file size. For instance, the maximum file size you can upload to Google Drive is 5 terabytes (TB). However, if you're using Google Workspace (formerly known as G Suite), the maximum file size is limited to 750 GB for most file types. Additionally, there are limitations on the number of total items (files and folders) that can be stored in a Google Drive account.
Regarding Facebook, the platform also has restrictions on file size for uploading and sharing. The maximum file size for photos and images on Facebook is 4 megabytes (MB). Videos, on the other hand, can be up to 4 GB in size or up to 240 minutes in length, depending on the video quality and format.
It's worth noting that these limitations may vary depending on the specific service, such as Google Drive, Google Photos, Facebook Photos, or Facebook Videos. It's always a good idea to consult the official documentation or help center of each platform to get the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding file size limitations.

RE: Nobody shares knowledge better than this
Nobody shares old adages better than swampies....
Here is what Poe says...The old adage "To err is human, it takes a computer to really mess things up" is a humorous way of highlighting the potential for mistakes and problems that can arise from relying on computer systems or technology. While computers can indeed introduce errors and complications, it's important to note that mistakes can be made by humans as well, and the impact of those mistakes can sometimes be more significant.
Computers and technology have become integral to many aspects of our lives, and they have certainly revolutionized various industries and fields. However, they are not infallible. Computer systems can experience software bugs, hardware failures, security breaches, or incorrect data input, among other issues. Additionally, the complexity of computer systems and the reliance on algorithms can sometimes lead to unintended consequences or errors that humans may not anticipate.
That being said, human error is also a significant factor in many problems and accidents. People can make mistakes in data entry, decision-making, or understanding how to use computer systems effectively. Human factors such as fatigue, distraction, or lack of training can contribute to errors as well.
In summary, the adage serves as a lighthearted reminder that both humans and computers have the capacity to make mistakes and cause problems. It underscores the need for careful consideration, quality control, and human oversight in the design, implementation, and use of computer systems.
Come on ai just answer the question. YES OR NO

RE: Nobody shares knowledge better than this
@boomzilla Thanks...
Those results aren't what I'd be interested in...
A search in context with highlights / and FAST watching the results flash by...
Then again 80 lines vs 11,000What I'd like to see.
Hint hint is a
Email dump.. extracting all the text.. and saving attachments...
I started that in the program.. but quit when other things came up.
The locations of a few good datascrapers... I'd like to just have to download LARGE text files..
AND an app to dump my text messages to a BIG file.. Thanks.
