50th Spotlight Bonus Feature #3: Spotlight Search Engine Version 2.0

[Aya042]

Well now, I thought Aya fixed this issue, but I believe that when you log on to LBPC you have to check the box that says "Remember me".

That should be fixed. This may be a different problem.

To anyone having problems getting the Search Engine to recognize them, can you specify which web browser you're using, and what version?

A huge thanks to Vortex and Aya for all their work! You guys are the awesomes.

EDIT: Oh, and it shows me as logged in fine. For what it's worth, I've got the Chrome Beta at the latest update (7.0.517.41)

Wow, nice work.
Props for adding in all those thread links. :o

Well - credit where credit is due...

Aya put together a nice little script that extracts the thread links from the Spotlight and creates a bunch of SQL INSERT statements. I just run those over my database, and voila! ... links!

So the real credit goes to Aya for the script, but mostly to the Spotlighters for getting all that set up in each and every spotlight thread.

Really nice work on this v0rtex and Aya - what an incredible feature! I'm having a ton of fun with the random feature. It's like LBP meets my iPod.

When I try and do it it just shows a new page which has some weird dealership thing on the top. It doesn't bring up the [U]actual spotlight.

Please try and fix this.

I search every level what i have played of those spotlight levels. 105 PS3 and 104 PSP. I have played much much more levels like 1000 PS3 and 400 psp that are not Spotlight.

Thought it was nifty before... Now, this is a bonafide valuable feature! Nice work guys!

Thanks so much v0rtex!

This will make browsing the search engine so much easier and more user-friendly!

Its good you are all getting feedback to help make this even better, this shall be so useful. (And sorry Mm, too late! The Spotlight Crew beat you to this awesome idea).

[kirbyman62]

Thanks! I'm most grateful for the 'Suprise Me!' button, it really helps to be given a random level, and I couldn't work out how to do a random search on the last one. Thanks!

I am on Windows Vista Home 64bit using Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18975

No matter what I do, I am always a guess in the spotlight search engine page.

A useful bug report. Finally.

I shudder to think of all the terrible bug reports that MM must get for the LBP2 beta.

However, it was kinda unnecessary in retrospect, as I found the forum actually tracks which browsers people are using anyway.

Based on that it seems to be only affecting IE (8 or 9) or Safari (4 or 5). I have a working plan on how to fix it, so I just need to wait until v0rtex is available.

OK - After some trial and tribulation, we (Aya042 and I) believe we have sorted out the issue with certain browsers not authenticating correctly.

If you have posted here that you only show up as Guest in the Search Engine, we would greatly appreciate if you could try again and let us know how it goes.

Thanks for your patience and for helping us to get to the bottom of this little bug!

Ok, this time it worked. For the first time I was able to see the pure awesomeness of the search engine

Before it just showed the advert at the top.

Thanks - authentication issue resolved. Curse me for using IE ...
