Looking for a Review? Search the Database!

Springfield 1911A1, c Nick Leghorn

Reliably, every single day, the Gun Reviews section of the website is in the top 10 for most pageviews. Which makes sense, since that’s what we’re known for. Almost a year ago I wrote and implemented a program that would let our readers parse through the massive reviews database to find the specific review they’re interested in reading, and it has been a massive success so far having been used literally millions of times. And it gets better.

Today I’m releasing the latest version, which includes a text based search function. You can now narrow your search to only specific models and manufacturers and find reviews even easier. You can find it under the heading “Search Reviews” on the Gun Reviews page. There are also a ton of optimizations that have gone on behind the scenes, but I’m guessing you don’t really care about that.

Needless to say, it’s not pretty. But it works. And if you can think of a way to make it work better, please let me know.

  1. Man, this is almost as bad as that white guy on neighborhood watch who killed a 10 year old black kid bringing candy home to his brother so they could watch a movie together.

    My point is that we have no idea how this happened.
