Wikia Search — first impressions

wikia search logo
Today, January 7, as promised, was launched search engine Wikia Search, still only in alpha version. (edit Angela Beasley at 06:58 UTC or 09:58 Moscow time.)


Of bugs: when searching in Russian (for example, the word habrahabr) there are errors with the coding, although it seems that everything is in utf-8.

Users who have an account on Wikia, you can login with the same username, but properties users flew in Wikia Search Alpha, and on the Wikia website.

About search: while search (English queries), you can create ministate (miniarticles). Next to the search result indicates the number like 1.26 (something like pagerank'a or TIC), clicking on which shows how it was counted. When you hover over the number next to it shows the stars, which don't work (looks like that will be implemented by the ranking of results). It is unclear how results are ranked, because the query "George Bush" first gets a website "George Bush Is A Crackwhore!" with the rank of 1.26, while below are websites with a lower rank and with a large, generally of the order is unclear. Well, I think, will be correct.

In your profile, you can specify information about yourself (personal data, data work, etc.) to fill in with your photos (and also combine photos into albums), and also add friends and set the status message. It airs on something like a new social network?

In General, the unclear impression: a very good idea, but no performance. However, it's not even beta, so the fault we have no right. And to report bugs, you can already Sachs.

Something blog MODX habré completely withered, we need to spice things up. I want to introduce you to your component, which has recently been almost completely rewritten and expanded. It's called mSearch and originally conceived as a simple site search with account of morphology of the Russian language. That is, you had a quick and easy solution for any site without installing Sphinx and other major systems. In the process gugleniya, I came across a interesting this task by phpMorphy . Full text search on a table with an index, with the generation of different word forms.

Introduction I had the need to test an application that uses the GNSS data NMEA. was Due to the fact that worked on the project navigation of the aircraft, test the air expensive naturally on earth to drive a car with a GNSS receiver is not particularly convenient, that like sitting at the table to have a virtual parallel port data Protocol NMEA allegedly moving equipment. First, search for different software had to try and find something suitable, but most paid and control of the emulation data is not very convenient, although practically emulate all settings of the NMEA standard. But I needed something simple emulating coordinates, speed, in principle, nothing more was required quite convenient and logical control. So I had to write an app of this kind in C#.

Low influx of users (or rather his absolute lack of), lack advertising budgets and publisher support dismantled the team, and it was decided to take a risk and create something of their own, to prove to ourselves first that big budgets and famous is not the main success factor. In this article I, Arthur, founder and game designer of an indie team ArmNomads Games (consisting of three people), I want to share passed us by in the dangerous wilds of mobile gaming. From idea to final release. The main objective of the idea was the search for a particular publisher and the target audience. We knew that to do something universal is very difficult. Guided by the limited resources and time, it was decided to cooperate with the publisher Ketchapp, but at the same time, have escape routes. To this end, we attempted to combine the minimalistic gameplay and beau
