HGeneAnthony Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I was interested in working on an open source indexing application. I was wondering, has anyone created one yet because I haven't seen one? I picture the project being useful for potential tube sites, file sharing sites, or people who just want to share their content. I haven't seen one yet, the closest of seen is bbcode forums, but these really aren't designed for this purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGeneAnthony Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 What I'm working on (or more appropriately thinking of working on) is an indexer. An indexer is really just another name for a search engine. youtube is an indexer, so is google, etc. An indexer also provides methods to find items in a system easily in case you don't know what you're looking for. For example, tags can be used to find items as well as categories or other filtering options. What I'm interested in working on is a program designed to make it easy to find items in a system. One of the reasons I'm thinking of working on this is a lot of file sharing sites use bbcode for file sharing, however I don't find this a very good option. It wasn't designed for this and these systems don't offer many features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 bbcode is a type of markup that is generally parsed and transformed into HTML. It is indeed what this forum uses to transform tags into HTML's <b></b>. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
