Just so you all know, I have now upgraded FIRSTsearch for the new season.
Now it will allow searches of team data, and I have moved everything into an MySQL database, so all searches will be a little faster.
But I have removed the awards by regional and year... for now.. I will be adding them soon enough.
The data I used for the team data was retrieved thanks to Pat Cloke's Team Search ( located at http://www.team358.org/files/team_lookup/ ), but I have moved all of his data from the [array file] he had made into a MySQL database for quicker access, and made it in a one line search query format.
I have also added in year searching for the different years rules/Q&As...
Here is how to search for different teams by the different columns:
team: "team name or number here"
name: "team number here"
robot: "robot name here"
location: "team location here"
motto: "team motto here"
website: "team website here"
awards: "award name or year or award info.. listed here"
students: "#students listed here"
rookie: "rookie year here"
(you currently must enter a space between the colon and the data [I will fix this later on])
(Also, you only need quotes if the data you are trying to find includes a space)
here are some example queries:
"team: 358"
"location: hauppauge"
"name: festo location: ny"
"hauppauge"
and so on...
[I have also added in searching specific q&a, rules, and updates for each year, in a more explicit manner, you would enter in as follows]
"qna: 1023"
(would give you Q&A id #1023)
"rules: 3.2.1"
(would give you Rule #3.2.1)
"updates: #2"
(would give you Update #2)
And although I cannot guarantee it, I also plan on having a search by near location.... so you can see the closest schools to you.
The location of FIRSTsearch is still at http://bobfrank.org/?module=FIRSTsearch
I hope all the new improvements help with all your scouting need, and I hope that I will be able to impove it even more by January. :D
