How to use Google

Article last updated on December 21, 2006 7:31pm by !nucleo.

This is for all of the 15 year old kids who ask me how to use google.

Say that we are looking for a song called Cats on Mars. A google search of Cats on Mars returns stories about Mars and stories about Cats. To only get hits that are exactly Cats on Mars, we add quotes. "Cats on Mars" will only return pages with that exact string.

Alas, there is a bubble gum company called Cats on Mars gum. We don't want that crap. So lets only look at pages with Cats on Mars and without the word gum. That is done with "Cats on Mars" -gum.

Okay, now we got rid of most useless pages, however we are still getting the football team named Cats on Mars and other junk like Cats on Mars video game. We want the song! But, what word best describes song? Song itself? What about music? Lets get only pages with Cats on Mars with the word song or music in it. We'll use the term "Cats on Mars" music OR song.

Enough about cats on mars. Now, we want to look for stuff on a website. However, our website doesn't offer a search feature (like me :p). I only want to find pages on one specific website. This is the syntax, inurl:domain search terms. So, if I want to find all RSS addons for firefox, I would use inurl:addons.mozilla.org rss.

That's right. Sorry, I am not making much sense, am I? Basically, I created the DB myself instead of using your install script. All necessary tables are there, I added few more based on plugin POST options and added those to the update.php also. At the beginning I added mysql.ssi.php function to both update and winamp_playing scripts as I had some troubles before with include_once.

Now I'm really confused, are you modifying my shoutbox script?

another thing is that update script terminates with invalid password (I added the pass in the Additional Options in the plugin and set the pass in the update script.

my fault really. I modded the scripts and added more tables to the DB such as "TIMESTAMP". I think include_once doesn't fetch the mysql function. Or atleast this is what seems to me is the problem.
