It's still down two days later!  As a back up you can use
[https://www.xdcc.eu/](https://www.xdcc.eu/) to find IRC packets.

Thanks, looks a bit more comprehensive than https://sunxdcc.com/

Also I noticed that ixirc stopped indexing SceneP2P a while ago

It's so irritating but hey at least we can still type it in the chats
!s but those periods get me 😑

Thanks for sharing, that works!

Sadly, saw IX IRC listed under a D1sney cease & desist; looks fatal

Gratitude for the links, All.. Will miss ya!

How do you search within the chats?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
PaleAstroGuy · 2021-08-21 21:32

in one of the searchable rooms i.e. #mg-chat for #moviegods, just type
"!s what you want to search" but without the quotes, "!search" also
works. There are also specific commands to get them to list all
packets in a certain category, for example "!bluray" will list all of
the blu-ray releases etc.

The periods? I have never had any issue, say for example the packet
name
 is "This.new.film.2021.RELEASE", just using the command "!s this new
film" work's for me.

I been watching the searches in #mg-chat. Some have periods and others
have spaces between keywords. What's the difference?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
PaleAstroGuy · 2021-08-22 21:58

Spaces act as a wildcard (similar to the \* in unix/bash), so "search
this" will show results for packets that could be anything from
"search.this" to "search\_this" to "searchessdfg.thissjfn" etc etc,
whereas if you searched for "search.this", it would only show results
for "search.this" as the placement of the period means you are only
searching for one string.

oh no :-( and [xdcc.eu](https://xdcc.eu) also seems down...

edit - just the link that didn't work for some reason

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Another nice feature: `.search` will send you the results in a private
message whereas `!search` will send it to the server buffer (which can
get a bit overwhelming).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
jtgd · 2021-09-08 08:05

Can you give a link for that? I couldn't find anything searching.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Saw as sub-text on DuckGo results page; will screen-shot if I can
locate again.

Definitely want to know more too..  IX was the best
