New Chofter.com search sources: PHP, Java, .NET, Dojo & Prototype

6 November, 2008 (08:59) | Uncategorized | By: admin

The Technical search category has been a bit underpowered for a while now, so it was definitely time to strengthen it.  So…… the following search sources have now been added, all of which are programming language references:

  • PHP
  • Java
  • .NET
  • Dojo Ajax Toolkit
  • Prototype Ajax Toolkit

For example, a search for “array” will bring up each language’s methods and objects for dealing with arrays. More languages on the way, probably.

Any suggestions?

Hi Ben,

My plan is to eventually include GreaseMonkey support, so that people can add their own search engines. It’s almost possible now, and I hope to work on it in the near term.

As for providing a dojo.data store for Chofter, that is not feasible. Chofter itself does not provide any search data, it is all gleaned from other sources, such as Google and Yahoo.
