I run <a href="http://www.geocities.com/sickozero/">The Placebo Lyric Archive</a> and I need some opinions on some ideas I have for it. For the moment I'm considering it complete, since I got SWG today and corrected the lyrics. What about an internal search engine for the archive? I've set one up and played with it some, and it seems to work fairly well, I just don't know if I should actually put it up for all to use. It seems like a good idea; people are always saying "what song has < insert line here >?" and this search engine thingy I'm playing with indexes all 92000 words in the archive. The other idea I got from a Java script I found. It allows people to upload only a certain type of file (which I'm not even sure would work since my site is on Geocities and not hosted by my own computer). I'd have it set to accept .txt files serving as a way for people to submit corrections. Any thoughts? Inclusive, all 3 versions of the archive rack up about 500 hits a week but I'm sure this will drop and rise in sync with the release of singles and such. Would *you* use a search feature or FTP correction upload? Both of them sound good, but are they simply fancy ideas or a realistic feature that is necessary for my site and its visitors? Any and all opinions are welcome, and by all means, feel free to suggest anything I haven't mentioned. SZ
