Title: Usenet searchengines made byself
Post by: Lordringo2007 on March 23, 2008, 02:39:32 pm

Hallo. My wish is a function for alt.binz to make  a own serverlist script under options for searchengines like aeton, yabse for example.

SRY for my english.  ;)

I think the problem with this request is that every search engine has a different structure. Adding a search engine isn't a matter of just adding the search engine url (at least, that's how I see it).
Ofcourse, it's up to Rdl wether or not it's possible ;D

This has been requested before :)

The difficulty is in parsing the results from any site you might scrape.  That involves quite a bit of regexing, and wouldn't be easy to implement on an ad hoc basis.

If you want to see what I mean, just search on Newzleech, then look at the html source.  Now think of what Allt.Binz needs to do to recognise what is valid info and what isn't, and then how to organise it into usable data.
