Today some very exciting features were added to everyone’s favorite porn search engine. I think the coolest by far is the new photo slideshow (more on that in a minute!), but here’s the full list so you can judge for yourself.
Quality of Results
The gallery ranking system was drastically overhauled and now offers significantly better [...]
Today the EveKnows.com search suggestion module got an update. Previously it had been based on the words detected in galleries; while this seemed to make sense, it didn’t work out well in practice. I’m using aspell to handle the dictionary lookup, so words weren’t weighted based on their popularity. The new system [...]
Recently I made some adjustments to EveKnows, resulting in release 1.3. The changes have mostly been behind the scenes, but should lead to more accurate searches. If you notice any problems with the site, please leave a comment explaining the issue so that it can be resolved.
Also, I’ve added a Recent Searches feature, [...]
Today I updated EveKnows to release 1.2. This update adds a Report Bad Gallery feature. If you find a gallery which is no longer available, inaccurately described, installs spyware, or has any other problems, please use this link to easily report the problem.
Other changes include some small user interface fixes. If you [...]
EveKnows.com is 100% Linux powered. The free (as in speech!) system has proved to be absolutely perfect for our needs. It’s fast, stable, and customizable–exactly what you look for in a platform for running fresh, cutting-edge applications such as EveKnows.
One of the harder tasks I’ve had is tuning disk access. The search [...]
Today EveKnows was upgraded to version 1.1. Changes include:
Pop-up menus to allow more data to displayed for each search result
Find Similar Sets command, which executes a search for similar galleries
View More from this Site command, which displays every gallery in the EveKnows database from the same site
Miscellaneous user interface fixes
The EveKnows.com database is now approaching 600,000 unique porn galleries. The vast majority of these have been pulled by our own web spider, Caroline. I’d like to invite every TGP/MGP owner to submit their own sites for indexing. Within one week your galleries will begin to show up in EveKnows.com’s search results, [...]
One of the most frequent questions I’m asked is, “What sort of servers are required to run a porn search engine?”. Everyone seems a bit surprised by my answer: thus far, nothing special. From EveKnows.com’s testing launch in March until early July, in fact, the site ran on a single Athlon XP 2200 [...]
This weekend someone asked how EveKnows generates thumbnails of each indexed porn gallery. The simple answer is ImageMagick, an amazingly full-featured command-line image processor. Read on for the gory details…
When Caroline, the EveKnows.com web crawler, finds a porn gallery, it downloads three images. Before anyone asks, yes, I’m only using the first [...]
I’m putting together a roadmap of ideas for the future development of EveKnows.com, and I want your help. Please feel free to comment with any feature suggestions. Currently, my thinking is as follows:
Continue to build up gallery database: I’m still shooting for 1,000,000+ indexed porn galleries by the end of summer
Quality control: I’d [...]
