Thanks for pointing that out. The link should be working now.

By the test criteria, all the contestants would lose major points. Y? Their search results dont exceed the first page of nairaland.

Nope, mine is still reaching the 4th page of the programming section. 2 bots are crawling this section every one hour. I can just increase the number of bots and the interval to make it faster.

Am I the only one waiting for the result?

That is not the case with mine (http://crawler.ademuanthony.com/). cuz it reaches even the last page
Even a search for "B2b Web-based Fulfilment Service " will give you result which is on the last page of NL

When are the results coming?
Who are the judges?

Danielthegeek?

Seun should just delete this thread. Its obvious I wasted my time in picking up the challenge.

*Modified *
@Danielthegeek no problem I would have been more patient but the crawlers were eating up my server resources

You didn't waste your time, I went on an unannounced break. I'm sorry.
So i'm back now, and the points will be posted shortly.

Thank you.

I have been watching this thread, i believe that you guys should just be patient.

Negative Points for code redundancy (-20pts max)
Note: Checking for code redundancy took me a whole lot of time, so my review here is accurate. If you think i made a mistake anywhere please let me know.
Those without a Github repo, pastebin link or an equivalence will lose 5pts automatically because the code cannot be reviewed


ChinenYen -9pts (Due to some typos and errors in the crawler.php and index.html file, 55 missing sem-colons in script.js file)
Jidez007 -7pts (Due to a small redundancy in the app.js file, unused var 'self' on line 18 of the PostController.js file)
FincoApps -5pts
Sleepingdemon -5pts
blenyo11 -2pts (Some missing semi-colons in app.js file)



I just ignored the fact that some people's programs are dependent on too much frameworks, on a more professional project you should be more creative and make sure your program depends lesser on existing frameworks.

Some Pictures

just to chip in.
Functionality wise, only one app could fetch me a result that ran into very distant pages of this section.
I entered queries for pages created in say 2007, and only blenyo's did it.
Not a fanboy but ... that stands for something.
i.e His search was more complete than the others.

Interesting. . . .

I think you are jumping to conclusion

This is on page 4 https://www.nairaland.com/2906247/need-evaluate-apps

Try searching for "you can now share your installed android apps"
on http://crawler.ademuanthony.com/ and http://search.djade.net/

Infact check this topic that is the first on this section
https://www.nairaland.com/1147325/want-learn-programming-which-language
search posts between pages 0 - 2 on the two crawlers

I'm not.
this is on page 170 - none of the the bots could find it.
https://www.nairaland.com/18002/visual-fortran

this crawler does however:
http://crawler.ademuanthony.com/

fincoApps doesnt. It's results are not even filtered (lots of irrelevant results)
try "programming competition" and you see a page full of results without "programming" or "competition"
in them!

OK. I think I understand how blenyo11 crawler works. It's only indexing all the topics' title While mine tries to index everything include all the comments, with time my crawlers can get to the last page.

^^ So does google search engine only index the title of topics?
