For each button click, the STORY FINDER prepares a search string for Google, using Google's SITE: and INURL: search modifiers. For example, the search string:
Tuvok OR Garak inurl:"squidge.org/~lianne" OR inurl:"geocities.com/dysecdysis"
finds pages containing either the word "Tuvok" or the word "Garak",
that have either "squidge.org/~lianne" or "geocities.com/dysecdysis" in
the URL of the page. So in effect we can search the www.geocities.com/dysecdysis archive and the www.squidge.org/~lianne
archive, with one search. I string together as many
archives as I can, given the limit of 32 words in a Google search.
If you don't enter any words in the searchbox when you do a STORY FINDER search, it searches on some randomly chosen sex words.
There are two reasons for this - first, if it just searched the archives,
then each hit of the button for that archive set would return the same list
of stories. Second, when you search on words, Google
returns snippets including the words, like these, from a search on "party OR cock OR nipples":
... Bashir could feel Garak's cock straining against the covers, ... Bashir crooned
against Garak's lips as he rolled him forward and centered his cock. ...
... going to be thwarted, but finally the party began to ... As he'd noted earlier, Kirk's
cock was a little ... his other hand to pinch the man's hard nipples, until Kirk ...
... I had a look around for various third party software / patches / hacks, but
... "Tuvok Shakur" <tuvok.rm@yahoooooo.com> wrote in message ...
I call these evocative micro-stories "Search engine
couplets." They make it possible to recognize at a glance
whether the page Google has found is a story or not.
Besides search strings that have lists of archives, the STORY FINDER also uses crafted search strings
to search the whole web for stories. The crafted strings have
been developed by testing to find a high proportion of
stories, and exclude other sex sites. Here is a part of
crafted string 1:
-gallery -pics -video cock OR cunt OR clit stroke OR caress"
The search string must do three things: 1: find sites which are stories, 2: limit that to erotic stories, and 3: eliminate pages from porn sites which are not stories. Each search using a "crafted
string" button uses a mix of random sex words and words that are the
same each time. You can also enter your own search words, and do a "crafted string" search on them.
Google takes you to the page, not the site - it can be hard to find the home
page of the archive from the story page, sometimes. The links in the blue box go to boxes for the archive sets; from there, there
is a link to each archive home page.
Search hints: The STORY FINDER
tries to put itself to the far left of the screen. Then the Google window
opens an inch to the right, leaving the "page++" button, the "random" button, and the "next
archive set" buttons visible. When I click on a story link
in Google, I like to put that window, with the story in it, to the far right of my screen, leaving some of the
Google window visible. Then I can browse the list of hits in the the Google window,
and hit the page++ for more of the same search;
or I might try new random sex words in the same archive using the "random" button, or try the next archive
set using that button. I estimate about a million erotic stories are indexed.
If you enter search words that are rare, you probably want to hit the "major" button. For example "gomen nasai" produced no hits
at all in most archive sets, but 19 from "major," all from the vast
asstr.org archive. But "gomen nasai" produced 429 hits from the button "anime (1)", as you might expect.
Some things to do by entering words in the searchbox : - find stories set in a particular place - Bangkok ;
- or setting - tropical sands ;
- or historical setting - plantation slave
;
- or with a fetish - nipple clamp ;
- or some activity - spin bottle ;
- or look for a story with a certain name - Katherine ;
- or from
a particular fandom - Heero Duo.
