Some websites are interesting but have no good, or a limited overview of recent articles. Often, using a site's search box, leaving it blank and hitting enter, produces a decent overview of recent articles. However, there's one site, fosslinux.com, where the blank search box trick doesn't work. I tried different search terms, like space, =, >, 0, or combinations. While some worked for a day, next day I need to find another search term to get search results listing all new articles. Therefore, I wonder, would there be a search term for such website's search box guaranteed to list all articles? Thanks very much.
Thank you, I had not tried that, I have now. With or without quotation marks, it doesn't produce search results that are a correct overview of recent articles. What works for this moment is https://www.fosslinux.com/?s=0+%3E+, or https://www.fosslinux.com/?s=0+%3C+, but I presume tomorrow or the day after it won't show the latest article(s).
Indeed, 10 hours later, that search no longer shows the most recent article. Now, it needs https://www.fosslinux.com/?s=+0+%3E+ (space 0 space > space) to produce a search result that is a correct overview of recent articles and includes the latest article. It is very odd how that site's search works. I have no idea what search term it needs to guarantee all articles will be correctly listed, including the latest. Edit: I corrected the URL. Mistakenly, it had an 'o' instead of the '0' as meant to. The corrected URL works, it produces a correct overview of all articles, including the latest -- for now, that is.
Ah, I might have found what to use to get a correct overview of all articles including latest articles: https://www.fosslinux.com/category/0 Let's see if this still works next day.
After three new articles were posted, https://www.fosslinux.com/category/0 no longer produces a correct overview of all articles, it does not include the three latest. I do not understand why. Now I need https://www.fosslinux.com/category/0/0/0/0 (!) to get a correct overview of all articles, including the latest. And I don't expect that to work when more new articles are posted. It's as if they don't want one to get an overview of all articles. The main page lists the latest six articles, there's no option to list all articles. It's plain stupid.
Two more new articles were posted, and as expected, the previously mentioned URL no longer produces an overview of all articles, it does not include the two latest. It's similar for all earlier mentioned options, none of those produces an overview that includes the latest articles. As I said, it's as if they don't want you to get an overview of all articles. I block ads, so I don't know if it's because of ads that they want you to keep looking, instead of having a neat overview.
Seven months later, a blank search now produces a good overview of all articles in one column. https://www.fosslinux.com/?s= Another option, a modified category URL, produces an overview of all articles in two columns. https://www.fosslinux.com/category/0 So far, so good.
