RIPE NCC, thanks for evolving the site! When it comes to searching, I agree with Andy that a search field on a web site leads me to believe that it searches that website*, and not some "external" databse – and I like to have it that way. To access the RIPE DB over HTTPS, I would like so see that as a second, and separate, search field, so that I can "tell the system" where I want it to search, e.g.: Search website: ...... Search RIPE DB: ...... Myself, I'm old enough to prefer the whois CLI tool to lookup stuff in the DB, but I know that I'm old-fashioned, and I do respect that HTTPS is easier for most people. Cheers, /Liman * With the obvious exception of search engines like Google. andy at nosignal.org 2024-01-21 10:16 [+0000]: > On 20 Jan 2024, at 21:06, Leo Vegoda <leo at vegoda.org> wrote: >> >> I disagree.
