Come to MAMA!

By olli. Wednesday, October 15, 2008 2:59:33 PM

Oki everyone now it's time for "yo mama jokes".. or not really doh

Some of you are interested in what kind of tools we use. Brian has made a blogpost about an internal search tool. We use it to find information and sites where we can test Web technologies. In short, MAMA is a miner, a database, an analyzer, and a search engine. It indexes not the content of a Web page as "traditional" search engines, but everything else (markup, scripting, etc.).

Check out our MAMA:

Interesting tool to learn about websites and help to prioritise bug squashing.coffee

Wow, very cool tool. What a great way to optimize web development, in general, and find bottlenecks for specific corner cases. IBM-type developement companies (and everyone else) will be able to address web app issues in ways that weren't possible before.

(Nice gift to Google, btw -- since they want 99% of everything in the cloud and accessed via a browser. Did they say "thank you" yet??) smile

Opera Team is the best, without any doubt...

Depending where you live in India DADA would be big brother.But usually its the grandfather.

Miladin MiladinoskiEagleMKD Wednesday, October 15, 2008 7:34:14 PM

Well yo mama is so fat that I run around her twice and got lost! :haha:

Serpher Wednesday, October 15, 2008 8:38:04 PM

In Polish "MAMA" means "mother" or "mom" ;]

DiegoDeass Wednesday, October 15, 2008 9:10:07 PM

In spanish, mama also means mom wink

Sorry, maybe it's no place for this since this post is about a kind of search engine...not about Opera itself but.
I was (as always) promoting Opera, and I tried to download Opera from "http://my.opera.com/chooseopera/blog/" and when I click on the dropdown menu [opera] then [Opera for PC/Mac]... Opera sends me to "http://my.opera.com/community/opera/" so I click on the download button and it gives me the "Opera installer_in_05.exe" file which is an old version (9.52 installer)...I had to go to www.opera.com to download the latest 9.6.
Please solve it in order to prevent new people download the older 9.52 version of Opera
Sorry, I know is off-topic but I'm sure is important.

Interesting, thanks for sharing! up

That's what exactly we Chinese pronounce when we call our mother.

George ChavchanidzeWhite Lynx Thursday, October 16, 2008 11:00:01 AM

In Tamil, Mama = Uncle


And in Georgian it means father.

Cyro Thursday, October 16, 2008 12:02:28 PM

In Portuguese, Mama = Breast

Uwe aka JaDaJada0007 Thursday, October 16, 2008 3:30:16 PM

Any idea if the code is available for this project? I could not find any indication of that there.

Chas4: "if MAMA is a miner then what is DADA?"

DADA is a hep cat.

As you wish...

Yo mama so fat that when she hauls ass, she has to make two trips.

Yo mama so old that when she was in school, there was no history class.

Yo mama so black that she leaves fingerprints on charcoal.

Yo mama so nasty that I called her on the phone and she gave me an ear infection.

Yo mama so ugly that when she looks out the window, she gets arrested for mooning.

Your mama so old that she was in Jesus's yearbook.

For MAMA and All Mothers! smile
It is and will be a great tools!

Will there be data about doctype usage available in the future? I hope you can publish something like that.

This would be very useful information given the high number of websites in your index. To know where the web stands mode-wise or to see how far we are on our road to the one-mode-enviroment everyone aims for.

Ah...

I see there is some short info about that. But really interesting data like which doctypes are used are missing. For Example, how often do you encounter IBM's XHTML doctype. The sam for HoTMetaL doctypes (oh, ye ancient relics..).

After reading through the article, I'm not too sure what MAMA will be? It seems MAMA is a search engine developed and used internally by Opera? Will there be a version available to the public? So web developers/users outside of Opera can use it for themselves? confused

The section covering doctypes is scheduled for next week as we move on to the Markup area in the "basic document structure" topic.

MAMA encountered softquad HoTMetaL doctype variants 9,950 times.
IBM doctype variants were found 144 times

It is currently Opera-internal only, but making it available to the public is definitely the plan.

@blooberry: seems like you could benefit from this userjs script. Check the end for the latest.
