Thank you brandon for such a nice through answer... Yeah, looks like |
| 7 |
I'm barking up the wrong tree. |

I know about htdig.. Not much though. Far as remember it didn't have |
| 10 |
much in the way of search interface... something like google. Where |
| 11 |
as webglimpse has a rich set of search terms, including some regular |
| 12 |
expressions and regular expression like operators... all the same |
| 13 |
tools as glimpse (and agrep). So many in fact it can be a bit |
| 14 |
daunting to try to become proficient with. |

Maybe you can enlighten me about htdig... its been yrs since I tried |
| 17 |
htdig. |

Even webglimpse fails though when it comes to trying to search for |
| 20 |
snippets of code like perl or C etc. No body want the sloth and cpu |
| 21 |
overhead of serious regular expression searching and that maybe the |
| 22 |
only (good) way to search for things like /,{,$,(,[,!,@ etc etc like |
| 23 |
one would need to find types of code snippets. Also I guess it |
| 24 |
would be pretty hard to build an index with that in mind. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I keep thinking some good developer will come out with a tool aimed at |
| 27 |
websites like might be found on a home lan (in scope)... where regular |
| 28 |
expression searching wouldn't be so far out. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Or maybe there just is no herd of people who are competent in regular |
| 31 |
expression searching, and hence no audience for such a tool |
