Hi there, is there a way to update this list? Half the pages are down

On the original first post, the "Wellminded" link has been down for a month now.Flash wrote:If you'll list each post that has a dead link, I'll remove them. You can find the URL of a specific post by hovering your cursor over the little rectangle to the left of the word "Posted" at the top left of the post in question. Right click, choose "Copy link location," then paste that URL.
Also, the "puppylinux.org" search one doesn't lead to anywhere beyond a 404 not found error.
The others work.
Greets!

Great Search Tip from rufwoof
Hi all,
Edit: With Wellminded often not working, I've begun to rely on the following which, IIRC, Geoffrey posted, but I can't seem to find it on this thread:
https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=015995643 ... #gsc.tab=0
also,
I thought this idea by rufwoof was worth memorializing: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 574#968574
"If you use google search, adding site:murga-linux.com to the end of your search string helps refine the search. That's what I used and it showed that link/post as one of the first few in the search results list
Code:
+william +sd +card +boot site:murga-linux.com
"
Obviously, replace "+william +sd +card +boot" with your own search terms.
Edit 7/27/19: May have been mentioned before, but someone recalled it recently and as this is currently the last post on this thread --and logically the first place to look-- http://puppylinux.us/psearch.html can still be considered a great tool, mostly functional. Using it, you can specify one of several repositories. Obviously, if the repository no longer exists, you can't search it. But if it does, such as Smokey's, you can.

Re: New wellminded Puppy Linux Search Engine

Why not bookmark http://wellminded.net63.net/ as your new Puppy Linux search engine.

[Update, Aug 2019]
After a somewhat lengthy hiatus from Puppy Linux I have updated the Puppy Linux Search and it includes the following websites in the search:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/
http://wikka.puppylinux.com/
https://412collection.neocities.org/
http://412collection.indogo.org (for older browsers)
http://dokupuppylinux.info

I like this one.

I really use the web area drop down selection.
Select the Puppy forum.
If you want to do the same search, on the web in general. Select WWW.
Plus it has direct links to most of the other main Puppy Linux sites.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

wget?
HI
I didn't see a subforum for introductions, so I will put my first post here, as searching the forum seems to be an acquired skill.
Thanks

In all seriousness, if there was a way to use wget or an alternative to download just a topic, it would help. I find myself trying to research specific pups, and then working offline during the installs and configurations.etc.I like to wget the whole forum and grep it. LOL - Not really but I would have a better chance of finding things that way!
Thanks

Hi ras,
Even though the tuxtoo deleted the message, the links to http://wellminded.net63.net/ and h[url]ttps://puppysearch.neocities.org[/url] remain. KInd of spooky.
Both are dedicated google-search engine for everything "Puppy". Just plug in one or more search terms and --of the over a million posts on the Forum-- a list with links of those relating to your search terms will be generated in Last-in, First-out order.
There are a couple other, similar, search engines mentioned on this thread. But sometimes just knowing that there is a thread, somewhere, will get you to the sought for information faster.
The Structure of the Forum may help you locate that 'somewhere'. Each Puppy has its own thread on either the Projects or Derivatives Section, less often and for the obvious reason that assistance may be sought on a pre-alpha endeavor, on the "Cutting Edge" Section. Almost all applications have a thread on the "Additional Software" Section. Some "Homegrown" projects, however, are on the Projects Section*. The names of the other Sections should suggest their content. If in doubt, technical questions can be posted to the "Users" Section. FYI, to post to a thread, click the "Reply" button; to start an entirely new discussion click the "new topic" button.
----
* When the Forum was established there was only one Official Puppy. Any other was a Derivative (Spin) obtained via remastering. At that time, the Projects Section was for Projects not relating to the creation of a Puppy or Derivatives. Before Barry Kauler, who created Puppy, retired he published 'Woof' an application to create Puppies. Puppies created using Woof, and 'Debian Dogs' created (IIRC netinstall) via now appear on the Projects Section; Remasters of such original creations on the Derivative Section.

Hi ras - welcome to the forums
no razzie for your query - your point is a really good one, and I recall that someone much earlier in the forums posted a 'how to' to have an entire thread presented on a single long web page - all the better for archiving and off-line research and reference. I'll have a quick squiz for you (a good opportunity to check that my signature search links are still current), cheers
UPDATE:
Here you go - entered "thread as single page" in http://puppylinux.us/psearch.html and found some links to seaside's early project here on "Threadget" http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=62236, thread still active 3 years ago - see also big bass' modified version thread_saver http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=74404. Is this the sort of solution you were looking for?
Actually, I think I recall that you can enter some modifying codes in the address bar to present all /selected pages from the given thread. I don't see a problem with a similar address + codes being entered into wget for downloading an entire thread - but I'm a numpty so real life application is bound to be more complicated...
Update2: trapster posted this hint back in 2008 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 732#223732. I guess it should work, but I dunno. I hope that gets you started?
Update3: the code of trapster's works for downloading consecutive thread pages, but doesn't concatenate them into a single document. Perhaps there is a workaround...

Hi Flash - and I've seen at least two posts from you recommending judicious bulk-downloading due to server and bandwidth limitations in those threads I've linked above - and you mention the default setting of 15 posts/page on the forum display, but in my hunt I haven't found the solution that you also recall. Hmmmm....

I use google to search the forum. Just append site:murga-linux.com to the search criteria i.e.
searched for text site:murga-linux.com
Using that I quickly found ...

Unfortunately google ignores everything inside code blocks... unfortunately half of the comments that I may want to google are in code. We really need to upgrade the forum - I can no longer post from chrome on my android phone and it stopped automatically log-in between sessions. I am busy working on my single file C standard library right now, but I do intend to come back to puppy before it gets _too_ much unintentional bolt-on bloat.rufwoof wrote:I use google to search the forum.
