Posted 1238 days ago... Menu Button
Oh yes, this is an exciting day! I present to you what I've been working on all week. https://www.jappleng.com/search">The Jappleng Search.

It supports a lot of nice features and more to come. The more people use it, the smarter it will get and content will become more relevant. So many things have been added so let me explain...

1. There is no need to search for @user or #tag. This is a search engine made from scratch and it searches through all the text throughout the site to make the searches possible.

2. You can search for content in the following sections: https://www.jappleng.com/education">Education, News, Club Forums (All of Club data on next update), https://www.jappleng.com/forums">Main Forums, Images and Albums, Student profiles.

3. Links to the Friend finder and the Jappleng Dictionary is available from there.

4. If image results are found while searching regularly, it will display a few images that it found as a preview, and you can continue to the image search if that's what you like.

5. Image Search function is great! It lets you search through all the images hosted on Jappleng given the permissions are set to public by the uploader. Any information you add to the title, description, filename and url is indexed.

6. Search results are sorted by relevancy, and this score will change over time like any major search engines. This means that it will only get better starting today.

7. There is Safe Search! Yes, there are 3 modes to safe search. If you keep it on, images / posts / text that are NSFW will not appear in the search results. If you you toggle it to moderate, you will see NSFW posts so long as they are not images. Basically it blocks swearing. There are over 200 swears and counting! The last mode, if you're brave... You can disable safe search entirely and browse through the results unfiltered.

Wait, what if you have Parental Controls turned on? Don't worry! You will be told that you cannot see the mature content because the Parental Controls are set in your Settings. This is to avoid people sharing links with Safe-search tuned off and offend people. Additionally, it is to prevent seeing something offensive if you don't like it or if your account is hosted by a parent.

Lastly, If you disable safe search, you will not see NSFW images in the [All] tab of the search results. Instead, the images will be blurred. You can see the unfiltered content by searching through the [Images] tab.

8. You can see just how big Jappleng is with this search. I have yet to not find content based on the keywords that I have used. So.. Wow! Pretty enormous! In fact, as of writing this... The index is at 94,603 unique terms (4 characters or greater) spanning over 8,137 pages. I have removed indexing of legacy forum posts for both the Sekai forums and the original forums. This would have yielded irrelevant results and increase the database size tremendously since there are tens of thousands of legacy posts.

9. Please note that there is no pagination system just yet. This is next on the list. So you can only see a maximum of 25 results. Sorry for the inconvenience but this search system took a lot longer than I had expected it to. I also created a big back-end admin panel for this with lots of scripts / A.I. stuff. It's crazy!

10. The list of upcoming features:
  • Ability to index everything inside the clubs
  • Ability to index everything on J-Spot
  • Ability to choose where to find results from (ie: Education section only)
  • Pagination System so that you can see more than 25 results
  • Continue work on making the search engine better
  • Search suggestions
  • Automated search indexing instead of me clicking on a button
  • Inclusion of Jappleng dictionary definitions if the term is found in the dictionary and perhaps other inclusions as time goes by like understanding phraes like "how do I say x in japanese?"


Here is the full update report!
November 6 Updates

[New Unlockables]
  • ID Cover: The Witch and the Skeleton

[General]
  • Word-based maturity filter has been created with over 200 words. This also automatically filters images that have NSFW words but did not flag the image as NSFW. In the future, these images will automatically be reported to the moderators for review.

Note: Only English and Japanese is supported, please help us grow our foreign word check on discord.

[Jappleng Admin Search]
  • I created an admin panel to do my search related tasks, it's very comprehensive and includes scripts, A.I, tasks, analytics, a console and so forth.
