So,
first of all respect to the work you have done and the time you have spent!
I must admit that I haven't followed the earlier discussions about the search engine topic, but I got my own views on it. Probably the search function within the Monastery is more likely to produce a useful result when you're looking for perlish answers than a general search engine. So I wouldn't use The Google for finding my answers in the first place.

Another goals might be to get more perl coders here. I'd think this is better achieved by getting some links to the Monastery Gates in the right places where a common perl coder would look for help.

Thus I'd spent no time on the effort of making perlmonks.org search engine friendly. But if you had some fun doing all that and got the feeling you provided something useful/important you're probably right - besides being a valuable part of the worldwide perm community :). And so -once again for the closing- respect to your efforts!

Regards...

Stefan

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
