Add a simple search
-
@vjvanjungg why not visit the Surfer page instead and use the browser search tool
Ctrl-F
? -
@nebulon I’ve checked out Meemo with the search recently. If compatible technically, may be part of it could be brought here to save time/work?
-
@robi sometimes i don’t remember where i put it initially within nested folders. not sure if there are any more users like me.
-
@vjvanjungg aha.. nested folders.. that will do it.
Nope we're all perfect!
having a personal web crawler might be neat,
maybe using something like WebDAV with DASL would solve it?

Maybe Cyber Duck / Mountain Duck could help with this sort of thing too?
-
@robi well.. how did you read my next thought on the WebDAV thing! TBH, I’m curious but haven’t wrapped my head around the usage yet. will read it up. grazi
-
@marcusquinn i will try it! looks promising.
-
@vjvanjungg I am telepathic and clairvoyant
-
I would not mind to add some search directly within surfer, this would probably be much better than having to use some 3rd party webdav crawler or such. I do not really have any experience with file indexers though, if anyone has, please let me know about the options on Linux.
-
@robi it dawned on me days ago, “yahh, that what he meant by nope we’re all perfect, lol” we have unique supapowa !
-
@vjvanjungg it was a mix of sarcasm and affirmation.
-
Yes, search in Surfer would be great!
(I just wanted to search https://library.uniteddiversity.coop to see if I had a particular file up there but then realised I couldn't - well, I can really because I've got it mounted locally, but really I'd like anyone to be able to search directly on Surfer )
-
@jdaviescoates might be best to use a crawler on your site to index the collection. Even more so to pick up data from inside the file contents.
Nice library btw
-
@robi yeah, it's indexed pretty well by search engines already. Would still be nice for people to be able to search it if they visit it directly too.
-
@jdaviescoates make a page that embeds a preconfigured URL to search only your site.
-
this may be an interesting alternative with lots of features built in,
search
being one of them..
