Searchable portal for the Everquest Archives
Some may be aware that I do a lot of research.
Over the course of the past two years I've collected over 4 million files while dumping Everquest-related websites, deprecated Yahoo Groups mailing lists, and more. Making these easily searchable has been a constant puzzle. But I've now been able to leverage Azure Cognitive Services and Azure Cognitive Search to create a searchable portal to the eq archives. Presenting, the Everquest Archives search portal: https://eqarchives.azurewebsites.net/ So far I have been able to index 335,000 of the 4 million files, including all the Yahoo Groups mailing lists. They are context-searchable and metadata fields will give you links to the original Wayback Machine archive link. Indexing the archives is proving expensive, so I will be soliciting donations at a future time to continue the process. For now, you can enjoy the 335,000 indexed documents, which include the Sony boards, EQ Stratics, Casters Realm, and a few others (alphabetically, the contents of /websites/ in the Git archive up to the letter E). Let me know what you think! | ||

Funny enough I tried to PM you a couple weeks ago as to whether you could search for some specific things, except I couldn't because you seem to have forum PMs turned off. What a nice looking resource you've built. There are a few items I intend to search for as time and motivation permit.

I noticed there's a bug on mobile where if you search for something and press the enter button instead of the magnifying glass, your result gets reset to * on the results page. Really annoying, I will try to fix it when able.
For now, if you're on mobile, press the magnifying glass to start your search. | ||

It is quite expensive to index this. I need to firm up the pricing from Azure then I will ask for donations to continue the process. | |||

The hosting is pretty easy, the site is just a tiny .netcoreapp, but it's backed by an Azure Search Service which is.... harder to mirror. I'm actually not sure if the data can be exported. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
