9 If the FILE Exists !!! - ID: 1075531

Last Update: Comment added ( huseurdaddy )

Details:

I would like to see next release of TSEP to return only
the search results (files: *.htm, html, php or *.*) that
exists.

For example, lets say I have a file named "TEST.TXT"
and it contains the following lines:

<Start of File>
1 Name: John Doe
2 Dob: 01/01/1969
3 Sex: Male
4 Occupation: Student
<End of File>

If my search term is "John Doe" then "TEST.TXT" should
show up as one or the only result.

However, "TEST.TXT" will also show up as a result
whether "TEST.TXT" exists or not or if someone deleted
it. We will only know by clicking the link if the file exists
or not.

The feature I am proposing is that TSEP should do the
verification of whether "TEST.TXT" exists or not before
returning it as the result. If "TEST.TXT" exists then
display it as one of the results - if not then simply do
not return it as one of the results.

Thanks.

PS: I will be glad to contribute my time if you guys need
any help (no offense) !!!

Date: 2004-12-02 11:40 Sender: olaf_noehring Logged In: YES user_id=801491 Hi the idea is good but: i think the main idea behind tsep is to do searching based on the database without the need to touch any files. There are serveral engines that work this way. But doing a filecheck comes in my opinion pretty close to searchin the files in real time - which of course could be another feature request ;-) ... Right now I think it's an advantage that we do not touch any files as it makes the search faster. I set the priority back to 2 for that reason. If you still "insist" : -) I might raise it again. This in anyway - should be an admin setting: check or no check Olaf
