Re: Sphyder-plus not indexing - 3 days ago
Despite of all your critical comments, you are running Sphider-plus v.2.9 on your site . . . <<< you'd probably have a hundred buck off of me already!# >>> ??? Upps. As to be noticed, it is working quite well at and all the other customer applications. By the way, Sphider-plus is a 'one man show'. Tecby Tec - Sphider Support

Re: Making Indexing Faster - 12 days ago
No, multiple db's are available only for Sphider-plus. By the way, also indexing speed is increased, as only a part of the complete content needs to be erased & re-indexed. Also, during indexation the search engine remains usable for the search user, as most db content is still searchable. More details about multiple database support are available here: Tecby Tec - Sphider Support

Re: Making Indexing Faster - 13 days ago
<<< is there a safe way to use various crawlers on one database ? >>> Will not be possible to index with several Sphider installations into one database. Because the keyword-link relationship must be unique. Each crawler would try to define its own definition. Consequently the common database would contain duplicates, referring on different links.

Re: Apostrophes in Sphider Suggest = not found - 15 days ago
The suggest framework is using another search algorithm, than the main algorithm, which is responsible to create the search results. Consequently they are producing independent results. Additionally the main search algorithm of original Sphider does not accept any special characters like dots, hyphens, apostrophes, etc. Tecby Tec - Sphider Support

Using the original Sphider with huge databases, installed on 'Shared Hosting' server, might become a never-ending story. Please think about using Sphider-plus. In front of the original Sphider, this software offers the following benefits: - Dozens of ping command are implemented to keep alive the connection to the MySQL server. - Individual 'Erase & Re-index' for each URL entered in the 'Sby Tec - Sphider Support

Your above posting is not quite correct, because you met a bug in original Sphider.

Re: How To Remove: Table 'sph_search.query_log' doesn't exist - 20 days ago
As it seems, your Sphider Installation is corrupted. Just run the script .../admin/install.php to add the missing table into your database. Eventually it might be helpful to create a completely new set of tables with a prefix like sph_search_ Eventually the dot as final character in your current table prefix will not be excepted by any of the original Sphider scripts.

Re: How can I change the language of "did you mean"? - 20 days ago
Don't know, which version of the original Sphider you use. In any case it will not be v.1.3.5, or the scripts had been modified. As per default download, the script …/sphider/templates/standard (OR) dark/search_results.html contains the row as described in my last e-mail. Thus the translation into Spain will work for the original Sphider v.1.3.5. Tecby Tec - Sphider Support

My answer was deleted, because the question Lima Bean asked for refers to Sphider- plus v.1.6. In 2008 Ando still cared about this forum of the original Sphider. So he kept it clean!

Re: Disabling "duplicate check" - 2 months ago
Thanks for the reply. I also noticed something. Especially some webmasters of 'banking' sites try to prevent indexation of their content. Getting really complicated for crawlers that try to follow all the redirections caused by JavaScript. Currently I am trying to teach Sphider-plus to do so.

Re: Some queries not returning results - strange - 2 months ago
Just checked it out by indexing a page containing the word 4043t. Afterwards I had no problem to search for this word.
