Archives cleaned up ... but not regenerated yet ...

'k, I just went through the .resource file for mhonarc and tried to clean
up everything that I could, as well as move everything possible out of the
msg's file itself and into include'd php files ... I'm still going through
and cleaning up some stuff, but take a look at:

http://archives.postgresql.org/dev

and let me know if something appears off ... I *think* I've covered off
the various suggests made (re: last-modified, noindex, "end of" html tags,
etc) ... but, I'm bound to have missed something ...

Those that have been complaining about "bugs" will know :)

ie. Oleg didn't like the last-modified date (should be posting date now)
    Dave wanted the noindex tags, which I think I've added where needed
    TomL always vetched at me to fix the end of tag html tags (ie. </LI>)

Its more the HTML side of things then the rendered that I'm working on
cleaning up ...

Marc or Dave,

is there possibility to sort search results not by relevance, but date ?
Since there is no possibility to restrict date range, sometimes sorting
by date is much better ! For example,
try search 'better configuration options for sort memory' (january-febraury
thread) and you'll see very bad result list (this is also question to
aspseek ranking function !) even if you restrict mailing list to -hackers.

May be indices are out of date ?

This is possible - as I said last week I just haven't added the date
options to the forms yet...

The options supported if you want to play are (just add them to the
URL):

dt=back | er | range
Type of time limit. See below.
dp=date
If 'dt' is 'back', that means you want to limit result to recent pages,
so you specify that "recentness" in date value, that is specified in the
form xxxA[yyyB...], there xxx, yyy are numbers (which can also be
negative), and A, B can be one of the following (the letters below are
the same as in strptime(3) and strftime(3) functions):
Character Meaning


------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------

s second
M minute
h hour
d day
m month
y year

Examples of values for dp parameter:

String Meaning Value, s

4h30m 2 hours and 30 minutes 16200
1Y6m-15d 1 year and six month minus 15 days  45792000
1h-60M+1s 1 hour minus 60 minutes plus 1 second  1

Note that ASPseek do not use minutes and seconds of document's last
modification date, so specifying something more precise than hour is
useless (but still allowed).

dx=1 | -1
If dt is er (which is short for newer/older), that means the search will
be limited to pages newer or older than date given. Parameter dx is
newer/older flag, value 1 means "newer" or "after", and value -1 means
"older" or "before". The actual date is separated into dd, dm, dy fields
as follows.
dd=number
Day of month (1...31)
dm=number
Month (0 - January, 1 - February, .., 11 - December)
dy=number
Year (four digits, for example 2001)
db=dd/mm/yyyy
de=dd/mm/yyyy
If dt is range, that means search within given range of dates.
Parameters db and de are used in this case and stands for beginning and
ending date, respectively. Each date is in the form dd/mm/yyyy, there dd
is day of month number (1...31), mm is month number (1...12), and yyyy
is four-digits year.
fr=value
to=value
These parameters are passed to s.cgi in subsequent search pages; they
contains date and time in internal format used by s.cgi.

Well, on that front, http://archives.postgresql.org/dev/ renders fine in
Netscape 4.7, but the search-results page comes up dead blank (and has
for the past week or so).  I suppose it's ye same olde problem of
missing table end tags.

OK, I'll look at that. Does the main search look OK?
(http://www.postgresql.org/search.cgi)

Yeah, that page renders fine (where "fine" means "looks about the same
as Mozilla").  It's just the page that you get after you enter a query
that's blank.

[tries it again to be sure...]  Oh, that's interesting, today it seems
to render correctly.  Marc must have fixed it last night.

<emily lutella>Never mind</>
