A while back I started working on some python code to use google's CSE for search results. Mostly for giggles, but also to see if google actually gives decent results when tracking cookies and location data are not available. If anyone is interested, feel free to take it for a spin. http://skaros.tech No SSL at the moment. Queries are logged by apache (as is the default) and there is a query cap. Billing is enabled, but Google doesn't let people exceed a certain quota per day when doing a full internet search. I'm not getting paid to maintain any of it, so don't be surprised if it suddenly disappears. Feel free to fiddle with it, break it, or w/e. -Ben _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
