THE EYE SEARCHING TOOL

Search (almost) everything on The-Eye

Major update coming soon - Much faster and much better implementation. This repo will be split and organized soon

LINUX ONLY
Requires at least 2GB's of RAM (database is loaded to RAM)

Before you start

1. Unzip the database(s)
   • Navigate to the database/ directory
   • Unzip .zip database files where they are
2. Install required python libraries:
   • Python3 dependencies: pip3 install -r requirements.txt
   • C++ dependencies: apt-get install libboost-dev libz-dev libzmq3-dev
3. Compile the searcher program
   • Navigate to the cpp/ directory
   • Compile the searcher with "make"

---

Usage

1. Load the database:
   • python3 loader.py -f databaseJsonFile
2. After the database loads, run the server:
   • python3 server.py
   • Use the -h tag for help with additional arguments
3. Open the local server on a browser(default at localhost:5000)
   • More info on the local server

Updating the database

1. Navigate to the database/ folder
2. Run indexer.py
   • Indexer will start saving to json, directories can be skipped with KeyboardInterrupt
   • If a database already exists in the database/ folder, it will update incomplete or out-of-date directories
   • Some pages are blocked or can not be indexed, so you might have to run the indexer multiple times to index everything
   • Defaulted to only work on Public/ and excluding Piracy/(as it's too big)
   • Can be modified to index Priacy/ separately. Just set the GETPIRACY flag in the indexer.py file to True. This saves into a different file and might run into errors because of Cloudflare, so multiple runs are necessary for a full index. The file size is also larger meaning at least 4GB's of RAM is needed.
   • Indexer might not work for directories like alviro/ (slightly different structure | Cloudflare heavily enforced)

Notes

• Check for updates when you can, this project is still in progress i don't deny there might be bugs(do let me know if you find them).
• This is NOT a mirror of all files in The-Eye, it is just an index of the files hosted there.
• You can update the database yourself, but I'll also update them every now and again.
• Elements of the database like HTML pages are not scraped correctly, they don't affect much but I'll have to remove or notify about them in a future update.
• I used json as it is easy to use, readable and supports the nested format that i want. The format is easy to iterate over line-by-line because of the predictable way it's formatted. Inspect the first few hundred bytes to see what i mean.
