[Cialug] Baby Google

[Tim Berneman]

I went to that page and clicked on the "Alkaline Demo - Click Here" link
and tried all the searches they had (the "Try It" links) and tried a few
searches of my own and all the pages give "The page cannot be
displayed".  Not good to drum up business!

Tim :)

Industry specific search engines were a big thing in the late 90s. The
problem was nobody could make a profit. So despite the tools usefullness
to a few. They couldn't justify the lack of a bottom line. The type of
search your thinking of has generally been incorporated into somones
value-added somethig or other. And requires a fee to a given service.

With that said I honestly don't know whos left in the search engine
market, beyond the big guys of course. But there is plenty of search
engine and crawler tools out there. So it would probably come down to a
do-it-yourself project.

But maybe someone on the list can give better advice than I.

Has any considered creating a small google like service for a niche
market? Suppose I was in the widget market and worked with a group of
300 widget retailers -that all had websites.

It would be great to be able to search and index all that widget
information and only that information.

Anyone aware of any tools to do this? Maybe a web crawler and a search
engine?
