Better Search Results Than Google?
Years ago I used a commercial product named Gopher (a program, not the protocol) to search the hard drives of the classified ad paper I worked for at the time. Searching is a HUGE part of computer science, and information processing in general.

These kinds of new approaches fascinate me ... the better these technologies get, the better our CS and IT gets. It's as simple as that.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
