Title: SMF Search engine question. Post by: TheBeardedBaby on August 21, 2020, 10:44:53 AM How difficult is to add new search option to exclude results from specific person(s)?
Now we have two options in the "by user" field:
I'm looking for this option "~" to exclude from the results the post made by a specific user. Example : ~<user1> If it's easy they we can have also additional option like: ~<user1>; ~<user2> ...~<userN> - exclude more users. Use case scenarios are: Hunting for connected accounts- looking for specific address. Easily show who else posted the same address. Same with telegram IDs and Twitter accounts. Many alt account hunters will benefit from this option. Title: Re: SMF Search engine question.

If it helps you can exclude keywords from search Quote A minus sign in front of a word excludes the word Source (https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/blob/fdc9c476450851c9173f76821a8dc1aac2c8f1e2/Sources/Search.php#L699)So if you search "A -B" you would get posts with A that do not include B Hope it helps :) Title: Re: SMF Search engine question.

On top of that, there are many useful feature need to be implemented than this one. I'm not criticizing your suggetions, it would be good to have but not important one which we must need while 2FA has been a must in my opinion.

I could run this code on 53 million archived posts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5167469.0), but the main problem will be excluding quotes. That's annoying and slow to do, and if I don't exclude them, it will completely mess up the data. On the other hand, quotes may still contain information that was deleted by the user who posted it. This is planned for my post archive. I had done that but only with ETH addresses and the 15m posts you sent me + the new scraped one. Even without quotes, users still post Bitcoin addresses that aren't theirs, for instance when providing evidence on a scammer. I plan to scan all old posts + new ones for ETH and BTC addresses after everything is working fine (new bot + full database with the whole post archive). |
