Green your Search Click to try!

Some years ago I made several custom search engines using Google Co-op, which allows people to collaborate on improving search using the power of Google.

I dusted this wee one down, and found that things had improved somewhat, e.g. ‘search suggest’ is uncannily useful right from the first letter.

I also recall reading or hearing somewhere that for a complex search, considerable energy would be expended due to the ever increasing amount of guff that is stored in the sheds of servers required to house an ever increasing mountain of information.

So by filtering the amount of guff right from the word go, this little engine will not only help green your shopping, but possibly, save the planet. Well perhaps not save the planet.

Anyone who’d like to help manage ‘the list’ is welcome to get in touch to weed out / prune rogue entries, that must have slipped in.

e.g. sites that promote themselves as ‘local’, but are actually based on the other side of the country will get dropped – I wonder why Google lets em away with this? I hasten to point out this is site is not intended to be strictly local, just relevant, but wouldn’t it be interesting if local search actually worked …
