Nice little applet.

On December 9th, I got the following notice in my gmail inbox:

Hello,

You are receiving this email because you are watching the topic, "Google Translate blocks IP address for "automated queries"" at Puppy Linux Discussion Forum. This topic has received a reply since your last visit. You can use the following link to view the replies made, no more notifications will be sent until you visit the topic.

If you no longer wish to watch this topic you can either click the "Stop watching this topic link" found at the bottom of the topic above, or by clicking the following link:

Thanks, The Management

But when I click on the link, I'm forced to log in to the forum (not usually required to view a post), after which I get the following error message:

The topic or post you requested does not exist

Click Here to return to the Index

In fact, if I search in my topics, I find that the topics is still listed, but the latest post is my own (which would not have triggered a notification e-mail), and the only other responses, by abushcrafter and Aitch, preceded it on the same day, November 26th (NOT December 9th).

The post which triggered the email was spam, and somebody removed the spam before you attempted to view it.

I think there was a post about that recently (within a week, probably three days or so ago) that referenced an older thread. I didn't read about how they actually did it, but if they used wget (which is very likely), you could modify the code to give wget the --wait=SECONDS option, where you replace SECONDS with a number. For example --wait=2 would cause it to wait two seconds after downloading each page before downloading the next.

By the way: people will be more inclined to help if you post when sober.

I have found that nothing in these posts helped my searching for a solution. After many hours of google did i find my answer. The forum search leaves much to be desired as i was unable to find my answer using it.

go to
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site ... =&gs_rfai=
erase the "*" and type a word like pet or firefox etc

ok i can figure out with 'uname' that its:
1.) puppy linux
2.) kernel version

but is it... woof? lucid? quirky? wary? what the?
mine might be a "lupu.." flavor; as that was the save file offered name....

is there some catalog of these distros? and their respective devXXX.sfs's

or a console command that will specify this is info?

or even a list of the most common distro-info commands...

'there sure are a LOT of 'puppies' out there'

after reading 85+ pages of any given topic, subject, search results, etc. from the forum to discover that it really does not apply to; or work with, the the version concerned gets kinda frustrating..

btw:
the wellminded.com search is about the only one of the above listed that comes even close to whatever i was looking for......(insert u2 music here)

abtw:
please don't waste your time or mine discussing the finite points of grammar, or punctuation. when you could be attempting to solve any given problem...as my professor used to say if you don't know, don't answer, ...don't freaking guess! (she used much stronger words)

we live in an acronymic world here in the web...goi!

As great as Google searching is, it ain't perfect.

Google does not search the "code box" data.

Code: Select all

anything in here is not searched[code]

[code]anything in here is not searched

Aitch · #52 Post by **Aitch** » Wed 01 Sep 2010, 08:31

Suprimoman

Try typing [ code]*.*[/code] (without the space which I had to add to prevent it opening a code box

) into this search [at 'all these words'] - it seems to work reasonably OK

http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q ... as_qdr=all

tip: you can specify when by adding detail in the date dropdown box, if you know what you are looking for

There may be better implementations, though

The link in the top page on this line

4th:
The most recent addition, not yet in people's minds, but useful nonetheless, is the Community Website Search

is broken.

Yes since May 08 when I did it, the community website search has been 'expired' since a move to a newer server...the community website link is OK
....change happens

I always just use this in google:

for the forum:
query terms site:murga-linux.com

other puppy sites:
query terms site:puppylinux.*

barry's blog
query terms site:bkhome.org

... yields almost identical results

& here is another little tip for the day
since I prefer google over bing.com, I ad this to my /etc/hosts file:
72.14.204.99 bing.com

To get you started, heres my most used forum search technique.
In google (or search engine of choice), type
Code: Select all
site:murga-linux.com my search

Use two keywords or a phrase to identify you topic.
Then add murga to search terms or 'search within results'. (Our forum genius and genius keyword, too

)
That's simple and often enough.

Makin' it easy to get in and swim.

Hi Aitch!

I’m using Lucid Puppy version 5.1.1, (released Sep 2010 ) and trying to use the Puppy Linux Discussion Forum Search tool to find exact wording or phrases. I have tried with these quotation marks ( ‘ ’ ) and with these ( “

Aitch · #59 Post by **Aitch** » Wed 08 Dec 2010, 14:02

Try using full quotes, "", in the wellminded search tool [google forum search]

http://www.wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html

or try allintext:xxxxxxx in that tool, quoting what you want found as xxxxxxx
