Announcing FlexSearch.org

November 30, 2006

I’ve been talking about creating some type of flex search for a year and a half and when I saw a few weeks ago that Google came out with Custom Search Engines (CSE’s) I wondered if I could use it for a customized Flex search. The answer is found at:

http://flexsearch.org Feedback appreciated.

The search isn’t quite the way I want it yet but I wanted to release it and find out what the community thinks before I make any more changes to it. It show’s what’s possible right now and the navigation is based on the default CSE behaviors. (Which I’m sure I’m going to have to modify in order for it to fit a developers workflow better.)

I also plan on using Ted Patrick’s flex search API and doing an xslt on the xml (when he releases an xml api, come on Ted? :) ) so that I can spin some html and get google to index it.
