Sherlock - Searching inside a "C" Drive for Quest Search?
Is there any logical reason to Search inside a "C" Drive or is just a goof ?
It definitely blows away the standards of Sherlock built in the previous episodes. Is it just me or anyone else felt the same ?
Best Answer
That is a local HTML file.
It’s technically possible to include a search form that requests an online search engine. It’s not relevant on which partition this file is saved.
You can try it yourself:
Save this as a file named
search.html:<!DOCTYPE html> <title>Search</title> <form action="https://duckduckgo.com/html" method="POST"> <input type="search" name="q" value=""> <input type="submit" value="Search"> </form>Open the file
search.htmlin your browser.Enter something and hit "Search".
You’ll see that this opens the results for your query in an actual Web search engine.
Possible reasons for doing this:
Performance - Loading your local document is faster than loading the real search page
Aesthetics - You might like the design of your own document better
Privacy - It’s conceivable that the search engine uses some undesirable techniques on its homepage (but it’s unlikely that they wouldn’t also use these on the result pages, which you still have to load)
Features - You could provide form elements (like checkboxes) that enable/configure hidden features of the search engine, or which make accessing provided options easier
