Desai, Bipin C.; Kipling, Arlin L — 2020-10-28 This book is the result of teaching the laboratory component of an introductory course in Database Systems in the Department of Computer Science & Software Engineering, Concordia University, Montreal.. The intent of this part of the course was to have the students create a practical web-based application wherein the database forms the dynamic component of a real life application using a web browser as the user interface. It was decided to use all open source software, namely, Apache web server, PHP, JavaScript and HTML, and also the open source database which started as MySQL and has since migrated to MariaDB. The examples given in this book have been run successfully both using MySQL on a Windows platform and MariaDB on a Linux platform without any changes. However, the code may need to be updated as the underlying software systems evolve with time, as functions are deprecated and replaced by others. Hence the user is responsible for making any required changes to any code given in this book. The readers are also warned of the changing privacy and data usage policy of most web sites. They should be aware that most web sites collect and mine user’s data for private profit. The authors wish to acknowledge the contribution of many students in the introductory database course over the years whose needs and the involvement of one of the authors in the early days of the web prompted the start of this project in the late part of the 20th century. This was the era of dot com bubble

Desai, Bipin C. — 2001-08-15 This is a compilation of the tests done in 2001 by the author on the then existing search engines. The search engine scene had changed and some of the engines from 1997 were not to be found with some new entries. It was published on the web on the authors home page. As the web pages changed, this was pushed of into the old site and forgotten. The original HTML pages were converted into PDF using LibreOffice in Aug 2022 and is placed in the Spectrum repository for the record! Who knows some one will find this of interest in the years to come After 2001, the searching was monopolized, the results were not complete and one passed on to something else. As we know the situation today is such that one search engine is making a fortune and attempts to provide an alternative such as Cliqz could not survive!

Map search instructions

1.Turn on the map filter by clicking the “Limit by map area” toggle.
2.Move the map to display your area of interest. Holding the shift key and clicking to draw a box allows for zooming in on a specific area. Search results change as the map moves.
3.Access a record by clicking on an item in the search results or by clicking on a location pin and the linked record title.
Note: Clusters are intended to provide a visual preview of data location. Because there is a maximum of 50 records displayed on the map, they may not be a completely accurate reflection of the total number of search results.
