Are there any good alternatives to SuperSearch?

Since it is down sometimes?

At least update the status / news on the front page and let your members... er CUSTOMERS... know that there is a problem and that YOU KNOW about it.

Thanks !

I find it useful when SuperSearch is down or I'm surfing and want to know if something is available on usenet.

In fact, I've got this handy bookmarklet that searches for any highlighted word in my browser.

Code: Select all

javascript:q%20=%20""%20+%20(window.getSelection%20?%20window.getSelection()%20:%20document.getSelection%20?%20document.getSelection()%20:%20document.selection.createRange().text);%20if%20(!q)%20q%20=%20prompt("You%20didn't%20select%20any%20text.%20%20Enter%20a%20search%20phrase:",%20"");%20if%20(q!=null)%20location="http://www.newzleech.com/?m=search&q="%20+%20escape(q).replace(/%20/g,%20"+");%20void%200

maybe there is some other better indexer overall.

But as far as newsleecher goes ... suppa duppa search works best cuz it's tightly integrated into the main app. doing web site nzb things is a hassle for tha lazy azz newsleecher ... It alll works good as long as the fn suppa duppa searcher server is werkin...

Thanks, supersearch was down again (second day in a row) and this helped me out. It may not find everything but my search for colbert worked very well.

At least they are working. It appears that the search engine stays more time off than online. They shoul at least have the decency to extend the epiration date on the subscription to compensate for the outages.
