New update:

A new result range indicator + range jump mechanism has been added. The range indicator will let you see roughly where you are in a search result and how much of it is found on the current page, while the range jump mechanism will let you jump an approximate number of percent into a search result. Range jumping is done by clicking on the range indicator bar.

This mechanism is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike pages. While it has a fleeting similarity, don't expect it to behave exactly like them.

Most importantly, the range indicator uses various internal statistics to work with basically zero overhead; it does not actually generate pagination for the full search result. This means you should for example not expect the displayed number of pips for each page (or pages per pip for large results) to be fully consistent across the entire range. While it does to a large degree correct for variations in usage over time, there will still be unpredictable natural variations (clusters and gaps) in the distribution of results. This especially applies to comment searches, which cannot make use of any precomputed statistics.

The range indicator is only available for normal searches; that is, not for favorites, watched tags, or in gid/file searches. Favorites will be revisited at a later date, as part of a larger rework of the favorite system.

Other Changes:

- Added the Jump postfix "g" for GID jumps. Using this with any GID (Gallery ID) will jump to the position in the search result with this gallery as the first (or last) result on the page. (If the gallery does not exist in the search result, it will still work, the gallery just won't be there.)

- Added a new setting to disable the new range indicator to the settings.

- Corrected a rare edge case where the search UI would act as if a search had no more results even if it did.

Thanks, this is what i was waiting for, perfect.



But still i think a new bug was introduced, if you search for:

female:"double penetration"

the search says "Found many results.", before it was giving an estimate count.

This is actually very useful! Thank you!

Small stylesheet nit: you can hover on the corners of the dots and the pointer changes but the color doesn't 👀

Replacing…
#rangebar a > div:hover { background: #5C0D11; }

With:
#rangebar a:hover > div { background: #5C0D11; }

Should do it

Interesting observation: the range urlsearchparam accepts float values 👀

It seems the new range jump feature supports decimals but 0.x and 99.x don't work?

Thanks, should be fixed now.

I'll fix that the next time I version the stylesheets, thanks.

It didn't actually support float values, but I fixed the missing cast.

(It might be possible to actually support it at least to some extent, but I'll need to look at it a bit more.)

Woot, no more accidentally skipping a page of results without knowing it.

Well, it could still happen when the results pool is enormous, but still. Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the update. if possible,
・I want this function for my favorites
・I want to use it when returning, so I want the center to be the standard.
please consider

Correction.
I did not check the previous post. I see your favorite update is for a later date.

Nice improvements. Miss the page selector but if getting rid of it better for the site then it is what it is. These alternatives are looking better and better which is a very good thing to see.

Thanks for the update Tenboro.

Please treat well my favorites, I don't wanna lose them in the next update (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Small script to make the highlighted pips contiguous as a single bar (I feel that it's easier to "read" / spot / digest)

(unfortunately can't be pure css because of how each pip is wrapped by an anchor element)

The new range bar looks too pretty for EH :3

Not sure why you are randomly worrying about your favourites, but you will never lose anything no matter which part of the site is upgraded or changed.

I will add it to the userscript index depending on what further updates we will receive or not.

New update post 12/05/2022 is ACE!

O M F G !
Why EVERY SINGLE website those days always pushes dumb UI updates that nobody did ask for and those always remove useful information, breaks stuff and doesn't add anything value back?

Every. Single. Time.

What is wrong with simple yet deep UI that provides enough informations, a good search engine and filters?

Deviant Art? "Hey let's remove page numbers, jumping to selected page and only leave next and previous"

e-Hentai.org? "Hey let's remove page numbers, jumping to selected page and only leave next and previous"

WHAT kind of school of dumb ideas teaches that? WHO is responsible for ruining another one of my fav websites with stupid UI redesign decisions?

Why is it so HARD to just add new stuff and give users options to change or edit stuff in settings or opt in opt out on some changes?
Why is it always a forced change without beta testing or even asking users if they would be ok with such change first?
Why WHY WHYYYYYYYYYY

Why it is always hit "CHANGE UI" button and then full ignore 99% of community who hate that change?
Is it really worth it of pissing off every single loyal user that you had for years?
Was the plan to make people quit using this website and use literally anything other with more competent UI?

PLEASE someone ANYONE tell me why removing pages on search? What kind of benefit that brings?

Why is it so HARD

Why is it so hard for you to read the first handful posts?

Here, I'll hold your hand for you:

It's gone as the index has grown to a size where it's not computationally feasible to have it anymore.

there is no world line in which the site still has pagenumber addressing and also doesn't just keel over in the next year or two

It's just not computationally feasible to provide deep pagenumber addressing in search results with hundreds of thousands of results. The old search engine was struggling badly with it, where many results took several seconds to generate, and it sometimes just fell over and died due to running out of RAM.

So......FIX it if its broken?

Nope. Lets remove it entirely and post some arbitrary excuses why its remove because that's easier to do that trying a little bit I guess.

Nope. As a previous website designer for years I don't buy this dumb excuse.

If index is limited - you fix it.
If something is outdated - you fix it.
If something is broken - you fix it.
If something is running out RAM or leaking it - you fix it.
If search engine is terrible - you fix it.
If for some reason search engine takes a bit longer to search (funny over the past decade I never seen that happening like EVER) - you fix it.

One does not simple say "its impossible to fix it" in term of website design in 2022.

Its really funny how way older similiar websites to e-hentai.org can still work as they did in decade ago with the same UI, features and search engine, pages, filters, tagging, search results etc yet this website apparently cannot.
So what's so magically special about it that I cannot pull out, hmmm?

Outdated source code? Lack of enough skilled employees?

Love the new update with the range indicator. I was fine without it, but the visual feedback it gives feels good at even a quick glance, and it fixes the issue people had about jumping ahead.

[...]

Trolling is illegal by law in this day and age.

So......FIX it if its broken?

This is the fix.

Got a better solution? And I mean, a bit more substantial than "just fix it"?

Also already been addressed multiple times in the thread.

Search Performance - hash search as linear grow while paging are exponential or logarithmic.

Outdated source code? Lack of enough skilled employees?

What make you think people here are not skilled?
The new way of page indexing is way harder to implement than the previous one.

What you need to understand is that this site is not operated from a international company that as millions of dollars to burn. They can't afford the infinite scaling, they have a budge and I'm pretty sure is not big as you think (the site is barely legal), they are delivering what the think is the best for continuation of the site.

I also don't like the changes. Maybe there is a better solutions than this, most certainly yes.

Don't spit on the plate you eat have some respect.

Google hasn't figured out how to do it yet, so what chance does anyone else have?

CODE

Sorry, Google does not serve more than 1000 results for any query. (You asked for results starting from 1001.)

Why do you think there are no pages on youtube for videos? Why do you think it shows 151-200 of many in gmail, with no last button when you do a search for a common word.


I think you're suffering from the Dunning Kruger effect. It's evident in your post claiming to be a 'Website designer' yet not understanding how backend systems effect UI and their functionality.
Or maybe that's just your limit, you never got passed being a 'website designer' because it became too hard. Either way, sit down and listen to the adults talk, and try to keep up. Maybe if you learn a bit you can join in on adult discussions with ideas and suggestions rather than tantrums.

Thanks for the little bubble thingies!

So I don't know if I understand this completely. Right now, what has the biggest jump forward in the index, using the range indicator or the "jump" button? How much does "jump" jump in comparison to it?
