Tony Buser’s NXT Search Engine

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

Tony Buser has created an NXT search engine using Google’s Co-op beta technology. Need to find that tidbit of information you remember reading on one of your favorite NXT sites a while back? Tony has the solution.

I’ve been playing around with Google’s new Co-Op system which basically allows you to create your own search engine that only searches a certain list of websites. (ala Rollyo) So I’ve put together an NXT search engine that indexes a lot of NXT blogs and a few api documentation sites.
