11How does this new shiny search engine work? Well, it's quite simple.
12
131. I wrote a [Deno script](https://github.com/pomdtr/val-town-mirror/blob/main/scripts/pull.ts) that fetches all vals from the Val Town API.
142. I pushed the data to a [Github Repository](https://github.com/pomdtr/val-town-mirror)
153. I added a [Github Action](https://github.com/pomdtr/val-town-mirror/blob/main/.github/workflows/sync.yaml) that runs the script every hour to refresh the data.
164. I created a simple frontend on top of the Github Search API that allows you to search the data. It's [hosted on Val Town](https://www.val.town/v/pomdtr/val_town_search) (obviously).
17
18That was it. I didn't have to build a complex search engine, I just used the tools that were available to me.
19
20Is this a scalable solution for Val Town? Probably not.\
21Am I abusing the Github API? Maybe.\
22Does it work better than the current search feature of Val Town? Absolutely!

15Login to your SQLite Explorer with [password authentication](https://www.val.town/v/pomdtr/password_auth) with your [Val Town API Token](https://www.val.town/settings/api) as the password.
