Hello,
After suffering the 'ancient' bug when searching the Lilypond
snippet repository, I found that Google can do a pretty good job.
I'm sure that none of this will be new to some of you, but others
may find it useful.
To search LSR from the Google search page, enter:
site:lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Browse <search terms>
It can be useful to have a bookmark with a keyword (Firefox name --
other browsers have something similar) set, so that entering the
keyword followed by the search terms into the browser location bar
does it all for you.
The bookmark is set to:
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Alsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Browse %s
and the keyword can be whatever is convenient -- I use 'lsr'. So,
to search for, say, 'add new staff', type:
lsr add new staff
press Enter/click on 'Go' and it works nicely. All the usual Google
search rules apply, so some wildcard situations are handled
automatically, further enhancing the user experience, as they say.
As a side benefit, it passes the search load from the LSR host
servers to Google's. Caveat: it will not see changes to the LSR for
a few days, until the Google bots revisit the host.
Rgds,
Nick.
