Financial Times is reporting that tomorrow Google will announce a new search option: Customized search indexes.
Here’s the link to the latest beta product from Google: Custom Search Engine.
Who’s going to be the first to create a Google search index of all the Tablet PC sites and blogs? Anyone?
Upon checking this out, three features stood out:
1) You can exclude sites that you do not want in the results
2) You can easily do so using the Google Marker
3) Anyone can volunteer to help
So we decided to throw up an experiment to encourage everyone to mark spam sites to be excluded from search results.
Working together as a community we may be able to radically improve the quality of the search results (or perhaps just get in a blacklisting war?)
The result is Putch – http://www.putch.com
Putch, interesting idea…however, I see you’ve been posting this comment on TechCrunch, eWeek, this blog and others…I’m almost of the mind to delete the comment as spam, which seems ironic since you say that removing spam is the goal of your search efforts. What gives?
