ISB Search Engine

October 27, 06 by Bharani

I read the news about Google’s Custom Search Engine, which restricts the search only to the sites specified by target user community. The target websites can be collaboratively maintained and managed.

So, I spent some 30 minutes in creating a custom search engine for ISB. Currently the search is targeted to 89 sites including ISB Website and ISB student blogs. Having spent the last 6 months in Enterprise Search domain, I couldn’t avoid appreciating the usefulness of this “targeted search” ;)

Check it out yourself to appreciate or to ridicule!

    Big B… your photo is missing.

    It will aid in “targeted search”. I suggest you have that for the ‘AXE’ effect ;-)

    Google co-op search…awesome concept. Even better effort to index all isb-related sites. Only thing left is for revenue-generation :)
    Great job Bharani…
