Here is their announcement regarding this option. ]]> http://www.searchindustryblog.com/news/saturday-february-27th-2010-at-2-20-am/restrict-google-s-results-by-location.html Nathan Enns Saturday, February 27th, 2010 at 2:20 AM announced an extension of Gmail called Buzz.

Anyone ready to commit online suicide yet? The more everyone is only about other people the less they are about themselves... which is where the things people enjoy about each other come from.

Community is only good if there are people behind the society.

And no... this is not about the search industry but the title contains the word "Google" which makes it relevant enough to post on a blog that is about the search industry. ]]> http://www.searchindustryblog.com/news/wednesday-february-17th-2010-at-12-51-pm/google-buzz-a-social-network-extension-of-gmail.html Nathan Enns Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 at 12:51 PM Search In Christ is another way to search it for keywords and look up verses.

You can enter search criteria directly into the top search form or use the drop down menus to select a book, chapter or verse to view only the books chapters and verses that correspond to your selection.

If any of you are LDS or curious about the Book of Mormon there is also an option to search it along with the bible.

This technology is provided by FyberSearch in case you have an aversion to using services that we both make and announce... ;-) ]]> http://www.searchindustryblog.com/news/tuesday-february-9th-2010-at-11-55-pm/search-in-christ-bible-search-engine.html Nathan Enns Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 at 11:55 PM announced that they added physical activity data to their already large collection of indexes.

I wonder how many people regularly use it when searching for information? While it does save you the time of hunting through third party websites it still seems like it takes more work than using other search engines to just get a list of web pages... ]]> http://www.searchindustryblog.com/news/monday-january-11th-2010-at-11-53-am/more-data-added-to-wolfram-alpha.html Nathan Enns Monday, January 11th, 2010 at 11:53 AM
If your site links to a site that has been flagged as spam it may hurt your rankings in some search engines.

What is a free for all page/site? It is just a list of links ordered by the date that each link was submitted without a search feature and without any other content. ]]> http://www.searchindustryblog.com/news/monday-december-28th-2009-at-10-38-pm/do-free-for-all-sites-hurt-rankings-in-search-engines-.html Nathan Enns Monday, December 28th, 2009 at 10:38 PM URL shortener that functions with other Google products. ]]> http://www.searchindustryblog.com/news/sunday-december-20th-2009-at-6-14-pm/google-url-shortener-for-google-products.html Nathan Enns Sunday, December 20th, 2009 at 6:14 PM
The only people who *may* read *some* of these updates are people who know the author or people who are fans of the author.

So.... who wants to read this??? And more importantly, who can decipher it?

I have been trying to search for a word that returns results that are legible, comprehendible and that anyone who isn't already visiting that person's social networking page regularly would want to comprehend.

Either there is nothing left for search engines to index, people don't know how to parse what they have not indexed or the priority is to write a lot of simple programs that can be promoted instead of fewer complex programs that are useful. ]]> http://www.searchindustryblog.com/news/friday-december-11th-2009-at-2-08-pm/real-time-social-networking-news-feed-search.html Nathan Enns Friday, December 11th, 2009 at 2:08 PM announced that they now have 400 million pairs of questions and answers.

It is not the default design yet but is is accessible in the top right corner of accounts via a link that switches to the new version.

Not sure if it is available to every account holder yet or if they are just testing it on a few. ]]> http://www.searchindustryblog.com/news/monday-november-23rd-2009-at-3-06-pm/adsense-accounts-updated.html Nathan Enns Monday, November 23rd, 2009 at 3:06 PM
