Seems like a good idea, but verifying using HTML files might be a better option for those who might use static site services (like neocities and nekoweb). Or, like google you can verify using a meta tag.

Nice search engine though!

The register page allows commas, which might be a problem

Got it! I’ve had to do HTML verification with my GitHub Pages site and Google Search Console, so I know that this method is a needed thing.

Nah, I don’t think this is necessary.

It shouldn’t, but I don’t think this is an issue.

lol the memes in this forum

I have no idea why my dell pc at work shows the dell logo in the center when I switch on but as soon as windows 10 starts to load the logo is displaced to the side

Its kind of annoying :rofl:

I’ve never seen it with Windows. I have seen it with Linux systems before… Maybe it thinks its on dule screens and is trying to put the logo on the second screen :rofl:

I have now added a ranking algorithm! Search results can now be ordered based on visits ranking, and people using Search Console can now see how many visitors of my search engine visits their site.

Here’s an oddity I discovered when building the search engine’s algorithm.

So, in order to count visits, a PHP script is executed, originally called views_tracker.php. When I ran my testing, I kept being greeted by an InfinityFree 403 page. I was stumped for ~4 minutes. I then changed the name of the file to views.php, and it works.

I think tracker, maybe track, is blocked on MOFH servers. If that’s true all around, I think this document needs updated.

If possible, can someone else test this out?

EDIT: On another domain, I made two PHP files, two HTML files, and two folders, named with track and tracker. The only file that was blocked with 403 was tracker.php. Nothing else.

Maybe the MOFH servers block PHP files that have tracker in their name?

Tried it,

Blocked paths that I tried incluided:
Tracker.php
tracker.php
Test_tracker.php

Some not blocked examples I tried:
Track.php
traCKER.php
TrAcKeR.php

So there we go :slight_smile: intresting

–edit–
Given that I’ve spent the last year testing systems in my job (even in my new job i’m just testing, just for a diferent dev team), I nearly wrote you a full test script lol.

–edit 2–
Just thought I’d try Tracker_test.php for completness… and thats not blocked… even stranger

Very interesting that “Tracker” and “tracker” are blocked but “traCKER” is not. I’ll bet they have a blocklist and do sub matches to it without modifying the case of the string being checked. Honestly can’t say I’m surprised. I do wonder why that was added though…

Brace yourselves, 502 Bad Gateway errors are here again!

I know right… In my mind a quick “to lower” function before doing the match would make the most sense…

Even stranger that Tracker_test wasn’t blocked, when Tracker and Test_Tracker were

Quick question, is it against the rules to post memes in this topic?
