API.php

Does API.php allow you to search for text inside an article? For instance, if I'm looking for the text "came out in", can I search all articles to find those that contain that text? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 06:33, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Madman might have more to say about it, but I think the answer is yes (I haven't used it). See MW:API:Query - Lists. -- Rick Block (talk) 15:27, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Rick. Yes. list=search. prefix=sr. — madman bum and angel 02:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hm - are we not using a recent enough version? I note on the MW:API page above that it requires MW1.11, and we're using 1.11(alpha). The reason I ask is this doesn't seem to output anything. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 04:53, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, all searches seem to be returning a null result set. We might need to wait for an update; I may try the latest build on my test installation. The only other thing I can think of is to poke a developer. — madman bum and angel 05:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Talk:Chris Snopek

Thanks for the heads up, I know what I did wrong there. Thanks!--Kranar drogin 22:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the reason PockBot does not edit anymore as the code is broken, so speedy approving the same code was probably not the correct move to make. Q T C 04:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, guess the code works, the install must be bad. Although I'm still going to go ahead and rewrite a version which scrapes less. Q T C 05:03, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ginsberg

I heard an NPR story tonight about Allen Ginsberg. Hadn't caught the reference in your (previous) name :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 03:07, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
