fraggle Posted July 7, 2002 A few times when looking for files on 3darchives I've had to spend quite a while browsing the directories to find the file I wanted. I found this annoying so I've made this file search page. Its still beta quality and is a bit slow so be patient. Tell me what you think of it and please report bugs if you find any :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Volte Posted July 7, 2002 Awesome. I found what I was looking for in under 20 seconds, so it's not that slow. Great work. 0 Share this post Link to post

fraggle Posted July 8, 2002 Thanks everyone :) I added mirror support, you may be interested to know. I dont know many idgames mirrors though, so whats there to select is from the list of mirrors in the idgames README. If anyone else knows any good mirrors, let me know. 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted July 8, 2002 Wait, there's a file on /idgames that lists ALL the files in all the directories? I never knew that. I would have written something like this a long time ago! 0 Share this post Link to post
SyntherAugustus Posted July 8, 2002 i think the next beta should have a directory fuction, so you can look in a directory. 0 Share this post Link to post

fraggle Posted July 17, 2002 Sorry to bump old threads (BBG: PLEASE DONT KILL ME!) but I thought this was relevant. Julian has kindly donated the doomsearch.com domain so you can now access the search from doomsearch.com. I'm still doing some work on the search making it a bit faster. Does anyone have any feature requests? 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted July 17, 2002 Well fraggle, since it's you, I'll let this one slide ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
Shaviro Posted July 17, 2002 It would be nice if there was a place where people could review the wads they downloaded. 0 Share this post Link to post

Dunno what the ratings could be...1-10, 1-5 stars or...1-5 Skull icons (the skull selector icon in Doom). 0 Share this post Link to post

mmnpsrsoskl Posted July 17, 2002 Yes, a feature too rate the wad you got...um, hrm, trying to think of anything else. Nothing comes to mind. 0 Share this post Link to post
Julian Posted July 17, 2002 Fraggle, I suppose you use the mirror box just to properly generate links. imo it would be better to have the different links for each result in the result page. my $0.02 tho. 0 Share this post Link to post

I dont know many idgames mirrors though, I try to keep http://www.doomworld.com/d_underg/idgames.shtml/ as complete as possible. I'd missed ftp.gamers.org tho. The only one I know of that you're missing is ftp.ntua.gr .
