📣 NEW: Announcing the new and improved Yarns search engine and crawler! search.twtxt.net – Example search for “Hello World” Enjoy! 🤗 – @darch@neotxt.dk When you have this, this is what we need to work on in terms of improving the UI/UX. As a first step you should probably try to apply the same SimpleCSS to this codebase and go from there. – In the end (didn’t happen yet, time/effort) most of the code here in yarns will get reused directly into yarnd, except that I’ll use the bluge indexer instead.
@prologic@twtxt.net 👏 Amazing!
@prologic@twtxt.net great work. All booked this weekend with AFK stuff, but hope I will have time next week to do something about the UI/UX
@quark@ferengi.one try switching to query string under options
@prologic@twtxt.net would i make sense to move the global search to http://search.yarn.social or get another domain for it so it is not as as tidly bound to twrxt.net?
Down the line I like to see that the end user will be offer three leves if search:
Personal(ized) for only searching in feeds you follow (scope: Timeline)
Local/pod for search only feeds that are hosted or followed by other people on your home pod (scope: Discover)
Global for searching in all indexed feed
Maybe the 2nd level can be skipped, but it might become usefulness if the network grows and we get pods with special profiles like regional ones
@prologic@twtxt.net I do’t want to split the index in 3. The first two would be on the user’s home pod only, a then you would be taken to a yarns instance
for the global search
