kwakk.info (the web site for comics research) has always supported phrase searches, but it’s been really sloppy in how it marks the matches on the screen. (See above.) Because I’m lazy.
But today I finally pulled myself together and spent an hour on this, and tada:
So many details… And speaking of details, while I was at it, I also fixed marking of accented characters, which didn’t work before:
Oh, and contractions should also be marked correctly now:
The actual searches haven’t changed — they’ve always worked fine, I think. I’ve just changed how they’re displayed.
Most old magazines and fanzines on kwakk.info allow paging through the entire magazine, but I thought that wouldn’t be fair for magazines that are still a going concern. I mostly avoid carry them at all on kwakk.info, but a few are unavoidable, and those are marked as “limited”. Which means that when you click on the “next page” link, it just says “nope, you nerd” or however I phrased it (I forget). But I never actually stated what was going on anywhere, which perhaps makes things more mysterious than necessary, so I’ve now made the relevant magazines’ web pages say this:
And then that link takes you to where you can buy the magazines if you want to read them.
Let’s see… did I do anything else? Yes! I added a little box from the front page to the blog articles that talk about kwakk.info, if anybody is interested in keeping up what’s being tweaked:
A web duhsigner’s work is never done, as the philosophiser said.
