Introducing Search Apps! Now, when you search for certain things, such as a calculator, search apps will appear that allow you to do those things without leaving Nova Search. More Search Apps coming soon!

Now for a non-weird question:

I’m going to implement searching for TBG REST. However, I’m not sure what query syntax I should use. Here’s the list:

Raw         : /search/posts?keywords=keyword&author=author&forums=2&forums=5&search_in=0&sort_by=0&sort_dir=DESC
Ocular style: /search/posts?q=keyword +username:"author" +category:"TBG" +category:"RPG"&sort=0&order=DESC
GitHub style: /search/posts?q=keyword user:author in:TBG in:RPG sort:time-desc (you can also use `sort=` and `order=` queries if you want)

not URI encoded for readabilty (for humans at least)

Which one should I choose?

A Story of Marzinory: Episode 2

Me and my friend, Marziana, are exploring an abandoned structure. The press has reported sightings of an unusual creature around this structure. We didn’t find it upon inspecting the surface level of the structure, so we have no choice but to find a way into the interior levels.

Marziana finds a hole in a room’s floor that leads into deeper levels. We go in.

Half an hour later, our search remains fruitless. We’re about to move onto the next floor when Marziana poses an idea.

Marziana: “Let’s split up. You search the next floor, I’ll search the floor below that. If that creature spots you, just scream and make for the hole that we came in through.“

Me: “Alright.“

While I’m checking out a side room, I feel like I can hear footsteps. I close the door, remain dead silent & look through the gap. I see nothing.

A few minutes later, I hear Marziana shout from downstairs.

Marziana: “[My Name]! Come down here!“

I don’t respond. I could’ve sworn I heard the creature’s footsteps. The timing, the timing . . .

A few minutes later, I slowly open the door. I shout back:

Me: “Coming!“

I go downstairs. Logically, Marziana would be waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. But she isn’t there. The next logical answer is that she made a discovery & is waiting for me there. I’m not going to risk getting heard by the creature, so I don’t shout again. Instead, I start searching this floor for her . . .

twitter sucks, but i just learned that disabling bing search results in windows search makes it comically faster, so if you don’t use that feature, you can disable it with this in powershell (credit Hank Poley)

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" -Name "BingSearchEnabled" -Value 0 -Type DWord

tell me if the results are noticeable if you do it. debloating windows is really something

I’m kinda getting tired of having to explain every single one of my terms to some people.

like explaining one or two? I’m fine with that

explaining a term I coined that I identify with? Yeah sure

but all of them or most of them?? at that point you can just google search all of them (except for ones I coined)

just, if you don’t know, search it up. there’s most likely an answer.

it is not hard to search “what is transneutral” on google.

@jeffalo idea for wasteof3: parameters for search/more advanced search

hey wasteof I’ve been making something I’m quite proud of, a completely independent search engine.

it’s definitely not the best, having only just under 6,000 web pages indexed, but it doesn’t take any data from third parties such as Bing or Google, which most other “search engines” (like DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Yahoo etc) do

you can try it out at https://novasearch.xyz, it’s still very work in progress, please do feel free to contribute on github, whether by reporting a bug you find or creating a pull request https://github.com/Nova-Search

if robbers ever broke into my house and searched for money, I'd just laugh and search with them

Jeffalo add search bar in nav bar so people can search tweets and users up

So I’m on Chrome on wasteof.money and then when I switch to mobile it has a search bar?!?! I say computers should have a search bar too!!

Idk how no one is talking about this, but yknow that Google changed the “Showing results for… Search instead for…?” to “You’re seeing results for… You originally searched…”?
