Browsing Posts in Costum Search Engine

In these times of  social networks and -based productivity platforms, traditional search engines fail in providing tools and services able to collect and organize one’s Web information. Greplin tries to overcome such a limitation by providing a personal search engine for all that data you keep locked away in the cloud.

Greplin Screenshot can interface with several Web social data service (typically, all those services that provide an API), like Gmail, Docs, Facebook, Twitter, and Dropbox. A full list of supported data sources is available here.

At the time, Greplin does not provide a public API to access its search functionality, but it looks like they are working on it.

Here is a presentation video of Greplin.

Search BOSS (Build your Own Search Service) is a Yahoo! Developer Network initiative to provide an open search web services platform.

The main goal and idea of BOSS is to give users, in this case developer’s free access to the Yahoo! Search index. The results can be supplied into the developer’s website or program so that they can manipulate the resources according to their product’s requirements. BOSS allows the results to be returned back in XML, JSON, HTML, text and also allows the comprehensive search feature allowed in Yahoo like pulling the results by pages, searching inside PDF, etc. The ranking of the websites for a search term is same as the Yahoo! Search ranking since both of these are pulling from the same index and same ranking.
