I created a Google "Custom Search Engine" that will only search the garage area (where info is located) of sites that we decide upon.
Currently I have the following sites included:
914world
914club
Narp
Pelican

If you have a site/forum that you would like added just PM or emal me the link and I'll add it.

Bookmark this site if you want to use it: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=002408345898193228772:dqlpe8hbclg It's in my signature as well.

If anyone thinks this is a good idea, I will be glad to maintain it for the club or relinquish it to the Admins.
Mark

Mark,

I like the idea. What do you think about adding Roadglue forum and the 914 wiki as well?

I don't know if by "garage" you also mean the classics section here, but it would be a mistake to leave out that goldmine. Also, I would probably add the originality forum here as well.

Posted by: computers4kids Aug 6 2008, 08:40 PM

True..added classics, originality and paddock

Wow.

The all encompassing 914 search. Excellent. It could amost be used as a "view cross-posts" button with a little cut/paste. Perhaps it could be made a part of the advanced search here. Hmmm.....

The custom search is 1 week old today and appears to be getting about 40 querries a day.

Any other sites we should add? Yahoo groups? etc.

added...if someone wants to post they'll have to login, but this will at least lead them to the discussion which they can read.

Make sure our tech articles are included. Actually, you probably want to include our whole "info" section:

Got it...
Thanks

Posted by: smontanaro Aug 30 2008, 11:08 AM

Probably ought to publicize this around to the other sites as well...

It would be nice to have the search engine linked somewhere visible where it's always readily available for club members...or anchor the thread.

Admins...interested???????

Posted by: computers4kids Oct 13 2008, 09:03 AM

For those of you who are using this search engine, Andy said he was going to try to integrate this into the site somehow. If that doesn't fly, I guess you'll just have to bookmart it.
