if you are scraping and parsing anyway, it would be nice if your search engine was indexing the most common board objects... For example, the username, DT rank, feedback, boards,... That way, you could use keywords, like you can in google (filetype:, site:,...).
If would be nice if i could make a query like `user:Theymos board:Bitcoin\Project_Development +wallet -knots taproot` and i would only see posts made by Theymos in the project developent board that contained the word wallet, did not contain the word knots and hopefully contained the word taproot.
Topic: Bitcointalk Search Project - page 4. (Read 774 times)
Ninjastic is showing entire posts so it's impossible to find anything meaningful when you search for a keyword.
Sorry for not being specific. I mean feature such as "Date Range (UTC)" filter, choosing one or more boards (and optionally with the child board) and sign support (+, -, | and "").
For now, I am scraping topics from the forum using my bot.
If it helps, I can give you a tar.gz copy of my data (note: some posts are missing). I shared it with Ninjastic years ago, and it saves you several months of scraping. Freshly scraping will get you a more recent edit though, and less deleted posts.1. Sort by relevancy.
This would be the one thing I'd like to see, but also no doubt the most difficult one. Ninjastic often gives me a list of hundreds of posts. A good search engine (like Google 10 years ago) would show what I want to see first.

How about feature which already available on https://ninjastic.space/search? Aside from that, i would suggest these feature.
1. Sort by relevancy.
2. Showing message that the search keyword may contain typo (such as showing "bitcoin" when someone enter "bitcon").

It needs to show only an excerpt with a link and title like forum search and Google do, it needs to have page numbers for browsing the results by page and most importantly it should not be looking inside quotes for keywords.

I am trying to make a search engine for Bitcointalk posts, since Google and the built-in one are so bad.

It doesn't look like it's exceeding the threshold of one request per second so that's good.
Private boards are not being scraped. The scraping is being done as a guest.
