OK, I am going to release a Freeware DSU in the next few days.

Its called FINDmyURL.dsu

called via:

@FMU(engine|domain) [ Changed ]

to @furl(engine|domain) *. Because vds took the first three letters of the function as fmul. Fixed.

Engine can be:

Google, Google Directory, Yahoo, MSN, Hotbot, Lycos, Ask Jeeves, Teoma, Altavista, DMOZ, All The Web, Netscape, AOL, Looksmart, Dogpile, Meta Crawler, Search, Mamma and Excite.

Which will return 1 if your domain is listed in the selected search engine, and 0 if it is not listed.

You can also set the engine to ALL which will search all the search engines and return a list in the format:

google|1
yahoo|0
msn|1
altavista|1
dogpile|0

etc.

Domain will be in the format of: www.mydomainname.com

I am finishing the demo script and the documentation.

Future features:
- I will be adding the ability to retrieve googles page rank Wink

- Keyword usage, ability to enter keyword search and return position in the search engine when using keywords.

And of course more search engines, if you have any ideas, or preferences for other search engines please let me know.

The finished dsu will be approx. 14 - 16 Kb

* You will however need to have the latetest vdsipp.dll to use this dsu, you will need to load the vdsipp.dll with your own reg details before calling the @fmu function.

The dsu uses the multiple threads built into the vdsipp.dll

Cool!

Rubes_sw, maybe you can use this code in stead of using the VDSIPP dll, so that your DSU will really be about 14 - 16 kb: Smile

FindMyUrl.dsu has been updated to Version: 1.1

- Optimsed code

- If you have selected one search engine, (instead of all) there is no need for the vdsipp.dll to be included in your application. Uses wininet (code supplied by Skit3000)

FindMyUrl.dsu 22Kb Very Happy

Get Googles PR for any page.

This dsu will return a result of 1 if the domain you have specified is listed in a specified search engine. It will return a result of 0 if the domain is not listed. This dsu can search 19 of the top search engines available.

A new function added to furl.dsu is @getPR() this will return the google PR of the domain/page you entered. This is an experimental function.

What feature would you like added? Wink

I'm actually trying to find the source code for it on my network here, as i have not worked on that dsu for some time and i have changed and reformatted several hard drives.

I hope I still have the code Shocked

Well found the code this morning, so if you want or need any features added.

As for the experimental google pr script, if it still works now then its not experimental any more.

could you add a way to obtain the alexa ranking of a web site or a web page?

serge

Rubes_sw · Posted: Fri Oct 29, 2004 9:07 pm Post subject:

I'll look into that and add the code over the next few days or so...

Also i'm adding a nice new feature, but i'm not going to say what it is until people use it Wink

hi nathan

i tested the google pr thing and it does not seem to work as it yields zero all the time

also, could you please check that all 19 search engines do work as i find that altavista and aol, for example, always say no - no matter what web site i check

for example, www.microsoft.com is not listed at altavista or aol, neither is google.com, . . .

i also seem to get the same result no matter what - i entered "w" and it said that "1" with google

if you have the time Smile
