In the new system, you state that you don't index role or person objects but you also don't index the strings tech-c or admin-c inside inetnum objects for example. This makes it then impossible to find what objects a person is listed on. Imagine someone retires and you want to change all his/her objects that list them - it used to be able to be done with the old free text search. The new one doesn't allow it.

Hello. Possible the new form is better then old and you did do it to give the some new features that were absent in the old. But Before I could copy/past the url of search result and in this string was my request and all keys. Now it's not possible. Before I saw all keys in one look on page. Now I must open your several bookmarks (4) and check I put or not the tick in some check-boxes. It's not very well.

Questions about network routing
by Zygimantas Surgailis 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Hello, Hope someone can help me. For few months now I've noticed the increased responce time from some of my servers in German datacenters (Lithuania -> Germany) from one Internet provider (this problem doesnt occur when using other providers). Also, the problem occurs only with servers collocated in Hetzner DC. For example traffic to hetzner.de goes through Russia: Tracing route to hetzner.de [213.133.107.227] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms DD-WRT [192.168.1.1] 2 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms XXXXX.meganet.lt [XXXXXX] 3 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 88.223.0.254 4 1 ms 1 ms 2 ms 88.223.0.157 5 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 80.232.131.233 6 5 ms 5 ms 4 ms 87.110.223.237 7 6 ms 7 ms 7 ms 195.122.0.133 8 7 ms 7 ms 7 ms 195.122.0.121 9 21 ms 21 ms 21 ms 92.50.199.29 10 98 ms 111 ms 98 ms xe-1-0-0.frkt-ar2.intl.ip.rostelecom.ru [87.226.133.110] 11 76 ms 76 ms 76 ms decix2-gw.hetzner.de [80.81.193.164] 12 83 ms 84 ms 84 ms hos-bb1.juniper2.fs.hetzner.de [213.239.240.243] 13 81 ms 82 ms 81 ms hos-tr3.ms-ex3k1.rz11.hetzner.de [213.239.236.99] 14 81 ms 80 ms 80 ms www.hetzner.de [213.133.107.227] Trace complete.

Deployment of New RIPE Database Web Forms
by Denis Walker 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

Dear Colleagues The Database Group is pleased to announce the deployment of a new and improved set of web forms for accessing the RIPE Database. These forms allow users to: - Query the RIPE and TEST Databases - Query a set of global Internet resource databases, excluding personal data - Perform a Full text search on the contents of the RIPE Database, excluding personal data - Find Abuse contacts for an Internet resource The new forms are available now at: https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.html https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/full-text.html https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/abuse-finder.html The current Query CGI and text search (using Glimpse) were some of the first tools the Database Group wrote for accessing Version 3 of the RIPE Database. These are now almost ten years old. The new forms use up-to-date technology and makes use of the RIPE Database API. The Query form queries the RIPE and TEST Databases providing the same usable features as the old advanced Query CGI. Alternatively it can be used to query the Global Resource Service databases (GRS). The Full text search allows searches over the plain text content of RIPE Database objects, without regard for any relationships. We re-index the text of RIPE Database objects every night. The indexed data is taken from the RIPE-GRS source database, and includes all the operational data but none of the personal data. The Abuse Finder accepts an Internet resource identifier and returns any abuse details found for that resource. This includes "abuse-mailbox:" email addresses, IRT objects and pointers to related objects that include a "remarks:" attribute that contains text that 'looks like' possible abuse contacts. The global Internet resource databases are a set of databases covering the operational resource data from the RIRs and some major routing registries. This Global Resource Service is currently in beta release. All these forms have been available for a while on RIPE Labs. They are now all available as production services. The RIPE Database Search form on the home page of the ripe.net website, will still be linked to the old Query CGI until Wednesday, 10 August. After this date all web queries will use the new form. If you have any issues or find any bugs in the new web forms, please report them to ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net. We will assess any reports quickly and report back with an estimate of time for fixing the problem or an explanation of why it works this way. Some issues may be added to a feature request list and processed after any urgent bug fixes. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group
