Build a Custom Search Engine out of your Bookmarks

If You have Google Co-op installed you are able to build a linked custom search engine out of your bookmarks. Tasty Bookmarks will generate the needed xml Context and Annotation files for you. This search engine will limit the sites to search to your current context, i.e. to the Bookmark Folder you are in and the keywords you filtered by.

caveats: You must not add links in the form http://plone.org the slash (/) at the end of the URL is mandantory so the link must be http://plone.org/. Avoid linking to pages, rather link to the directory i.e ommit the usual suspects index.html, index.php, home.html, default.asp etc. Do not link to http://www.unep.org/default.asp but to http://www.unep.org/ otherwise the annotation file will resrict your searches to just that page.

 

In a Linked CSE the specification of the search engine is hosted on your website. Google retrieves the CSE specification from your website when your user searches in the CSE. This has several very important benefits:

  • You can easily convert your Tasty Links to a Custom Search Engine.
  • You can automatically generate any number of CSEs, each tuned to the particular page (Bookmark Folder) or as a response to a users query (Tasty view).
  • You can easily update your Linked CSE definitions without pushing data to Google.
  • There are no global, per user annotation limits.

You can now exploit the full power of your ideas to dynamically generate CSEs. This makes it easier to share annotations between CSEs.

Tasty Bookmarks generates two files for you:

  • tasty-cseref: The CSE specification
  • tasty-annotations: The Google Annotations (i.e. the sites you want to search)

This search engine will limit the sites to search to your current context, i.e. to the Bookmark Folder you are in and the keywords you filtered by.
