Other features that would be great are WIP/Completed classification, and a last updated/first published filters. The DLP Score integration is by far the best feature, it really is great. Huge thumbs up.

 

I second the WIP/Completed. Maybe like FF the search function should fold itself up after the search is completed. Also I personalyl like to read with black background so maybe a Background change option would be good.

Awesome job.

Forgot to post, I would like to search using number of chapters too. (chaptercount minimum like wordcount minimum).

 

What is indexed? All stories in Harry Potter category?

 

Running a search with no parameters shows that there are 520,000 stories indexed, about 150,000 less than ffn. Maybe the General genre stories make the difference?

The Lucene Querey Syntax is working very well as far as I tested. Might be nice to add checkboxes for popular searches, such as Azkaban, Veela, -dumbles, Triwizard, and what not.

 

Thanks for doing this. Thumbs up.

 

Only the English stories are shown by default in Scryer. When you check the English stories in ffn, they are matching.

As Raven said in the OP, currently only HP stories are indexed without any crossover support.

 

One feature I'm missing from the FFN options is the time range filters. Being able to filter out old abandoned fic's is a must have.

 

Let me know if this is dumb or not. I see that it shows the ratings for stories DLP has reviewed and I was wondering if it's possible to rate the stories on Scryer too. That way as we are browsing through our search results we'll see how other readers rated a story. It might also help us find those few fics that are good time wasters, but not good enough to be put up for review on DLP.

Anyway, awesome work, sir.

 

Just wanted to let you know that I've used it for all of thirty seconds and I already found a fic I've been trying to re-find after reading it about a year and a half ago.

This is fantastic. I almost want to ask you to get around to making it work beyond the HP section of the site, if only because I've been looking for the very first piece of fanfiction I ever read for a long time, and this would probably find it if anything could.

Amazing work.

 

Perhaps the most wanted fandam besides HP is probably Dresden, so that could be a good place to start. Then trickle down to some popular manga, etc.

 

Naruto should be the next fandom....Definitely Naruto. I need -mpreg and -slash to cut through all the BS.

 

Dresden Files crossovers and regular fictions would be my next request for inclusion in Scryer.

 

If you're starting small, it won't be on the list. The very first one I read was a Naruto fic. I remember almost every detail about the story, and by literally any and all standards whatsoever we have today, it was truly objectively horrible. But it was the first one I ever read (and honestly it was so long ago that a lot of the cliches really weren't cliches yet), and I've always been trying to find it again. Plus the author wrote a few other things that weren't bad either. Mostly slice of life and comedy stuff.

I'll confess that I haven't actually looked, but I wouldn't have imagined there would have been enough Dresden on fanfiction.net to really be worth filtering. It might be good as a test to see how well Scryer works in other fandoms, but I'm not really sure Scryer would be necessary to search like it would be for some of the larger ones.
