====== Zeitgeist Zeitcode ======

The following is the closest thing I have to Jim Flanagan's zeitcode.pm module.  

^ file        ^ purpose                                              ^
| [[http://www.dlma.com/zeitcode/Zeitgeist.pm|Zeitgeist.pm]] | Jim's original module with newer search engine evaluation. |
| [[http://www.dlma.com/zeitcode/searchengines.txt|searchengines.txt]] | Source file of engines the module recognises.  |
| [[http://www.dlma.com/zeitcode/searchengines.new.txt|searchengines.new.txt]] | Referrers the engine thinks might be searches.              |

===== Instructions =====

[[zeitcode_doc|Jim's Original Instructions]] are still valid.

What I did was extend the module to take in a file ''searchengines.txt'' that contains a list of known search engines.  In the XML or HTML output, it includes only results from the specified referers.

zeitcode.pm also increments a counter in ''searchengines.txt'' associated with each referer it found, as a way of distinguishing active referers from obsolete ones.

Finally, it writes a new file, ''searchengines.new.txt'', with suggestions for new referers that might be from search engines.  This file is meant to be reviewed by a human, and for certain referers to be manually added to ''searchengines.txt''.
