Friday, January 26th, 2007

Ever wondered what people are searching for at BoardReader? Now you can take a look at it via last searches page. These are live searches, a bit filtered regarding adult phrases so you would not get to insulted. We also have list of most actively searched phrases, which is available for today as well as for other days. You can find it a bit boring now as there are a lot of phrases which are only searched once or twice, but it should become more and more interesting as our traffic grows.

Over 700.000.000 of Posts and counting (updated from time to time)

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

Close to the turn of the year we found out there are more than half a billion forum posts indexed by BoardReader.COM and counting within our active live database on BoardReader.com. This is a lot. I remember few years ago Google was below 4 billions of indexed pages and we’re at 10 percent of the size. We will keep you updated as we move toward 1 Billion and beyond in the next couple of months.

Firefox and IE7 BoardReader search plugins available

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

Johannes Albert wrote Firefox and IE7 search plugins for BoardReader so now you can add forum search to your quick browser quick access search engines.

Johannes made a great job by implementing both Sherlok based plugin which works with Firefox 1.1 and newer OpenSearch based plugin which works with Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7.0

To Install plugin on older Firefox blowsers (1.5 and below) you should visit Mozilla Plugin Directory

With Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7 simply visit BoardReader.COM and press on the arrow in the right top corner - it will offer to add “Boardreader” search engine to the list.

These features are not yet heavily advertised on the site - as blog readers you have access to fresh stuff first. They will become easier accessible in a few days after some more testing.

So if you find some bugs with them let us know.
