ASSTR/Kristen's Archive search engine

[SpiraMirabilis]

The search function on ASSTR.ORG has been broken forever, so I set up a search engine myself to index the entire site. You can access it https://search-asstr.boondollars.com.

If you just want to search the Kristen's archive you can use a search query like: 'slut inurl:kristen'. It's still spidering ASSTR so its not 100% complete just yet.

The idea is great, however opening the link give me a "bad" gatewway.
But a decent (actually any kind of search at this point) would be lovely.

And hopefully the other asstr problems are fixed soon.

Easy solution.  Google search:

[search term] [search term] [search term] site:asstr.org

Will pull up every story with your terms.

Sorry, I forgot to enable the systemd service for automatic restartt the search engine and it crashed. I've done this so it should be good to go now. You can use google, but I'veb rowsed it long enough (using google) that it started thinking I was a bot or something.

I don't keep any logs, so no worry if you spen four hours perusing quality transsexual smut. *cough* As just an example.

I also am indexing literotica right now, but I may pull them out. Not sure if "general smut" or specialized on ASSTR.ORG.

One I'm using on this search engine is:

site:www.asstr.org gbhasext:1 -inurl:index -title:stories <SEARCH TERMS HERE>

in an attempt to avoid returning the index pages where stories are described (they tend to end in / and if not they tend to have index in the title, and the 'repository pages' many times have "stories" in the title, but that is unusual for a an actual story to have.)

I.E. I'm trying to just get one result per story. I will tweak the search engine to identify these repository pages better, it'll spider them but not includee them in the search results. But for now this works pretty good.

There is also a huge weight for the language in an attempt to avoid seeing stories in french. Fairly soon that extra stuff shouldn't be necessary and the search engine should rank stories highly, and repositories of stories lowly.

Indeed is working now, both of the solutions.
Interesting to me since i stopped using google search ages ago.

Thanks for the effort...

I'll be working on removing "repository pages" from the list of pages considered for matches (but still index them to find their contents.Ideally only actual stories would return from a search.

That would be cool indeed, there is just so much stuff on asstr, that its sometimes quite a bit of work finding exactly whatever tickles your mood at the moment, without going through dozens of rep pages.
