I had some time yesterday and today to do a bit of maintenance to the
Metaverse Ink Search engine. Specifically, I made it compatible with
what the viewers expect a search query to look like. So if you want to
use it as the search provider for the users of your virtual world,
simply give the following SearchURL to the viewer as login parameter:
[LoginService]
...
SearchURL =
"http://search.metaverseink.com/opensim/results.jsp?";
This will bring up MISearch when users click the "Search" button.
As before, if you want to index the searchable content of your virtual
world with MISearch, that is done under the DataSnapshot section of the
configuration, something like this:
[DataSnapshot]
index_sims = true
data_exposure = minimum
; 1 hour
default_snapshot_period = 3600
snapshot_cache_directory = "DataSnapshot"
data_services="http://metaverseink.com/cgi-bin/register.py";
Note that the data_services variable is capable of taking a
semi-colon-delimited list of services, so it is possible to index your
virtual world with several services, e.g. a local search service
provided by ossearch and global search service like MISearch.
Also note that, for the time being, MISearch is designed for the
Hypergrid, so if your virtual world is not HG-enabled, it doesn't make
sense to index it with MISearch. This may change in the future, but
that's how it works now.
There's 700 sims up&running and registered with MISearch as of this
morning. The MISearch engine refreshes the data every 6 hours.

It was down because of an AWS maintenance. It's up again. The index is
still not fresh.

Last I checked, Diva was the maintainer of the MetaVerseInk site and
search engine.
So I think it's best to ask her about why the site no longer works

What exactly is needed? Do you have contact with the current
developer of the site? O r have they left the scene and they
should of released the code somewhere :)
I can see open grids and standalones would love this especially
if it also allows you to see scheduled events also.
I know I seen/heard of other implementations of it but they all
seam to fall aside unless you have a big backer on a long term
grid or two where you can have an project going on with more then
1 person who can keep the project rolling.
Some the private grid might like to use it to some extent too.
But is it time for us to do this? How well has the online website
trying to unit the economics working (online stores and such)
You will need someone who in it for the long run who can manage
it and acquire hosting for it. If you have to pay for it, where
are the moneys coming from to provide support for it? You can
get people to donate we space for it, will the balk if it grows
to to huge sizes? THere little more then to do then lets do it :)
But I would have to say, the project should be not be dependent
on one person to survive.
Just a thought :)

I am happy you reply to this poste. This search
capacity is embeded partly
in opensim core modules and exist since 2008 . Its documented

Thanks for the metaverseink URL. I know about the ossearch
module as I have been maintaining it for a while. I know the
objects database table is being populated. The missing piece
is a web based tool (ie. PHP file) that will let someone
perform a search.
If their is module code or web based code at that metaverse
site I will look at it to see what if it just needs some
minor updates to get it working (again).
