I just noticed that the Open references are not in DQSD yet. I've
attached the files for Wikipedia and Nupedia searches. The wizard makes
it a breeze! Thanks.
Is there going to be any limiting factor on searches? I've always
thought of javascript as slow and taxing. Will it noticeably hurt
performance of lower spec PCs to have a lot more searches? This doesn't
really directly effect me but I don't really think plug-ins with the
searches are the answer since I've found a load of new resources through
the current default searches. Is there a plan to deal with this?
Installer options maybe? There are a lot of searches JB pointed to over
at (http://www.metrocast.net/~peteh/toolbar.html) which would be handy
in the default package as well if the owner would like to contribute
them and theres no trouble adding them.
Also, just as a note for all those Mozilla users, Atomica seems to work
properly now! Finally. That's the main thing I missed when I switched
over. Opera is still/now broken though. I don't remember if it worked
before.
Can't wait to see some of those DSQD branch additions mentioned earlier
this week. They sound interesting and the RSS feed ticker might be useful.

Even though this XML search will probably load and is a healthy start
toward a completed search, please be aware that this search will probably
not work as is and will require some human inspection and modification.

Nupedia is a new online, peer-reviewed, international encyclopedia. It is searchable and will also be organized hierarchically and alphabetically. Nupedia is "open content" or "free"; we want the contents of the encyclopedia to receive the widest possible distribution. Reading Nupedia.com will always be free of charge and therefore the project of building it depends on volunteers--possibly you!
