Hey HackerNews!
We're proud to announce the launch of our one-of-a-kind source code search engine.
Our team is 2 recent graduates who are trying to undertake the herculean challenge of building a search engine.
Traditional search engines only index the text of webpages. We go deeper, and get all the HTML, CSS, Javascript, and more.
All feedback is welcome, we're new and trying to improve.
- wikiburner 13y agoDude, I upvoted you, but you really want to prefix your post with "Show HN: " - you'll get a lot more attention that way.
- cwings 13y agoThanks I appreciate it! Did you make a search?
- wikiburner 13y agoSorry, not yet, but I will. I got you bookmarked because I noticed the brouhaha earlier with that other search site. It sounds interesting, though. It's been almost an hour and you only have my 1 upvote, so to be honest your submission really doesn't look like it's going anywhere. I'd resubmit tomorrow at around 7:30 to 8:30am EST, and I'd do it as a "Show HN: A Search Engine for Developers, Marketers, Web Designers, and Hackers", but don't put put your url in the "url" field - put it in the "text" box, along with your "Hey HackerNews!..." copy. Posts submitted that way will be much more likely to get upvotes, and you'll linger in the "Ask" section (see the link at the top nav. bar) for about a week or so. Update: I was recommending that you kill this submission, but scratch that. You're on the home page now, so maybe it'll take off. If not, just resubmit next week the way I mention above.
- dbielik 13y agoThanks! Great advice!
- wikiburner 13y agoWhoops, ignore my comment to delete this submission. You're at 5 points and on the home page. If you don't get any more pickup than this, consider resubmitting next week the way I recommended.
- zxi 13y agocwings? cwings.org from 2007?
- jon_r 13y agoGive the fuss you kicked up about meanpath earlier I'm not sure you can really claim "one-of-a-kind" here... That said it looks good and the demo seems to work now, good job! Just out of curiosity what's the UA of your crawler? Curious to see if it's hit any of my sites.
