Windows tool for AOL results search http://www.wingrep.com/download.htm I am sorry for the amount of posts! Just really excited
What he said And yeah ... stunning mistake from AOL ... will be interesting to see what response will google have for this screw up
So come on guys, what are some good uses you've made for this doc? I just grepped it for the url of a competitor's website, and now I know all the keywords people used to get to their site. Interesting stuff... Any more ideas?
Indexing a 60+ million row database table will use some serious server resources. Props to anyone who can get this info online in a searchable format. I'll give it a shot but if it generates as much traffic as I think it will, my server will probably slow to a crawl.
I agree I would even pay for this or we could group together and get a coder to come up with a solution Dr N
Interesting article on applying GREP to the search results http://elliottback.com/wp/archives/2006/08/07/aol-gate-search-query-data-scandal/ Dr N
I am still not sure if this will help people as much as they think. One thing I guess it can do is cut out research time significantly.
As of now i'm trying to get it on my slow-a$$ home server, looks like it's going be a while until it's all set nicely in the DB. Putting it all online is something that crossed my mind, but I'm sure it will get there way before I'll have time to do it.
Brother Qwest The old saying Knowledge is power is very very true. I had a quick scan of the ringtone keywords and instantly realised that i had missed an area and i had to add them to my campaign The more we share and network then we will all benefit from any new knowledge Thats why this forum is so powerful and NO ONE can say that it has not helped them and opened their minds to new ideas. Fear is a powerful thing that stopped me from going for it on the internet for several years and once i changed my mindset (be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind!!!) things started to click and fall into place Thanks Dr N
I bet a bittorrent of this will come up soon. Anyone have a link to one? My download has slowed to a crawl. Also this would seemingly mark the decline of AOL (haha jk AOL has been declining since 98 )
If anyone knows a torrent with this file please share .. power went out and i was downloading from firefox .... now it doesn`t want to start again ..argh... i was half way through the file.

I saw one or two torrents on mininova.org... Have a look at the comments section for this blog article, specifically comment numbers 23, 53, 69 and 86.
Yup...tried it ... the torrent file doesn`t work for me .... says it can`t connect to the tracker Tried the small files and after taking the first one, at the second one the website told me that the limit of free downloads for that file has been reeched. And i tried a big file and the power went down while downloading ... this just ain`t my day edit: i`ll try at mininova again second edit: this is what i see on mininova`s website Added Name Size Seeds Leechers 06:12 [D]AOL Search records for 500,000 users: AOL-data tgz 439.01 MB 0 0 0 seeds ... bummer .. i`ll take it from somewhere eventually
