Late last month I dropped some hints about a new search service coming. Chris launched it today (I keep forgetting that it isn't a holiday down south ... it's Thanksgiving here) and it's very cool. Here are the basics. You can start at the main site http://gada.be/, but that would be so 20th century. Gada.be is totally different. You can search with a URL! Here are some examples:
- http://tris.hussey.gada.be/
- http://boston.red.sox.gada.be/
- http://qumana.gada.be/
- http://vancouver-canucks.gada.be/
A "." is a double quote search so "tris hussey" or "boston red sox" a "-" is an AND vancouver AND canucks. There is already a Firefox search plugin for it too!
Let's make it even cooler, especially if you use Lektora! &Keywords=rss&BANNER_STYLE=1&WIDTH=336&FOOTER_COLOR=FFFFFF&FOOTER_GRADIENT=0)
If you put "opml" at the end of the URL it generates an OPML file of the results. Now if you use Lektora ... well it automatically senses that OPML as a series of feeds to import. Talk about expediting your search feeds! I just bulk added searches for Qumana and me in like three clicks. This becomes info gathering on steroids.
Way cool Chris!
