OK Guys here I go with big architecture type change suggestions.
Can we begin to break the Search directory up into subdirectories? I mean under search there would be a directory for each search category…
So the structure would become
…\searches\Computers\Networking
…\searches\Computers\Programming
And so on…
Then the relevant searches would go in the right directory.
This would have the side effect of being able to drop the <category> tag from the search files too… though not necessary.
The reason is for the optional installer. Currently EVERY search HAS to be individually listed in the installer. This is A LOT of overhead, especially with new searches getting added regularly. But if I made an optional installer that allows you select/deselect the searches by category then I could just make the installer write out (or not write out) entire directories. Thus the installer would not need to be edited just because a new search was created.
Thoughts?
