1. Euphoria search
Rob,
Google now allows you to create a targeted search feature. This seems
like it might be a good addition to the RDS page. Basically, you can
specify sites to focus on when searching, so we could probably get better
results than simply using vanilla google.
http://www.google.com/coop/
I tried it out using links from the "Other pages" links on the RDS site,
plus some of my own bookmarks:
http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=002466813801703414856%3Ard8fndrvbyy
You can also integrate it with your Adsense account.

Very interesting! Generally speaking, I think this can be a powerful tool.
Well, I just tried your Euphoria Search Engine, searching for "sequence".
None of the results on the 1st and 2nd page (20 items) was related to
Euphoria.

Yes, I read about that today. Thanks for the demo.
I think I'll set up something.
BTW, I might do a 3.0.1 release fairly soon,
since someone found that Euphoria-coded .dlls,
built with 3.0.0, are not working. I've fixed the
problem. I just need time to do the release.

Yeah, but there are a lot of other sites besides that one. The wiki,
for example.

The results seem to be very limited if you don't include something like
'euphoria' as one of the terms. I don't know why this is, but then I
haven't tried tuning it or digging into the details of how it all works.
But I still get only results based from the sites I specified. Or are
you referring to the Sponsored Links, maybe?

No, I'm referring to the normal search results. It's also funny, that
I get several Geman results (on the 1st page!), although the option
(o) Web search
is chosen, and I believe your list doesn't contain "spieletest.at" or
"amazon.de". 
Since I'm not sure whether you can reproduce my findings (because your
system has a different language, and Google recognizes that), I've ZIPed
the first results page that I got, and uploaded it here:
<http://www.rapideuphoria.com/uploads/eu_google-sequence.zip>

That's interesting. It looks like there's some issue when it crosses a
language barrier. When I do the search, it claims to be "Matt's Euphoria
Search Engine" with the other option being Web search (and it only
returns results from the list of pages that I specified).
From the FAQ:
http://www.google.com/coop/docs/cse/faq.html#7
7. When will the Custom Search Engine be available in other countries?
You can use http://www.google.com/coop/cse/ to build a Custom Search
Engine for all English language Google domains, including Australia,
Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. We hope to extend the
service to additional countries and languages as soon as we can.
I never use any other languages, so I'm not sure if there's an easy way
to force it to use english. Since it's google coop, it may take something
different than normal google usage.

I see. I didn't read the FAQ previously.
Thanks,
