New engine and more features
October 30th, 2007 | by FilesTube.team |
Hi,
After few weeks of endless coding and testing, we are excited to present the completely redesigned core of FilesTube search engine.
Despite our efforts, the site suffered a serious performance hit due to incapability of handling vast amount of data by Zend’s PHP framework Lucene implementation (Zend_Search_Lucene). For this and many other reasons we have decided to adopt an alternative solution - Sphinx full-text search engine. We are very happy with the effects and possibilities we have gained by choosing Sphinx. Greatly decreased search latency is the most visible advantage, in particular for FilesTube.com users.
Although we had our hands full with core development, we managed to design and implement a brand new feature. MP3 lists allow grouping and managing of your mp3 search results. MP3 lists can be shared with friends (just like Download lists). Additionally, you can play your MP3 lists directly from FilesTube.com using our slick player. And that’s not all! The player can be embedded at or linked from any third-party site. This enables you to present your favorite music at your blog, homepage or any other place you can think of. Below you can see the player at work.

Wow! What else can I describe you guys as..?
You guys have been doing a wonderful job. Besides file search, you have also added an mp3 player which can play the songs. Its heartening to know that this player can also be embedded in any blog or website.
Keep it up! Hope to see more new features in the future.
