I'm confused. I am familiar with XML-RPC and SOAP, and I know that Google has made its search engine available on a limited basis by exposing a SOAP API. (The GoogleSpell add-on [1] uses the Google SOAP API.) How is XML-RPC is involved? It looks like the researchbuzz cgi script determines the julian dates from the time you give it in order to hand off "/daterange:<juliandate1>-<juliandate2>" to Google. In fact, it looks like we could do the same without ever touching the goofresh page, since the conversion could be done in JavaScript [2]. I've made a quick hack at modifying the Google search (gg.xml) to use the researchbuzz/goosearch. E.g. gg cardinals /fresh /since:w ...which searches for pages containing "cardinals" (who now lead the NL Central by 4.5 games.. woo hoo!) that were indexed in the last week. Usage: gg <search-string> /fresh /since:<time> /since:t - indexed today (default) /since:y - indexed yesterday /since:w - indexed in the last 7 days /since:m - indexed in the last 30 days Again, I don't think we need to hit the goosearch site first -- the julian conversion could be done in the search script -- if someone had the time and desire to look into this. Feel free to make this search better. I'm realizing now that I could have used only one switch (/fresh) with a value, instead of adding the /since switch.
