Motivation

With Linked CSEs, you designate a CSE specification URL with each search request (as a hidden form field in your search box HTML code). Google retrieves the CSE specification from the URL when your user searches in the CSE. Google caches and refreshs the results so that only the first search to your CSE incurs any delay. The flexibility to specify how your search engine should behave, just when your user is doing the query, using whatever data sources you want, opens up many possibilities:

Assumptions

 

Proposal

Building A Linked Custom Search Engine with Tasty Bookmarks

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.

 

Implementation

 

Deliverables

 

Risks

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.
