Sporadically blogging since 2003

Proudly South African Search via Gargoyle

March 9th, 2007

Gargoyle is a brilliant (South) African search engine, built using Nutch – hats off to Peter Hart-Davis for a lightning fast engine with enough detail to keep my inner geek happy for ages!

It’s getting lots of commentary on SA blogs as expected – still alpha (hopefully that includes the messy URL :-)

Far better (and faster – both at returning results and including new content) than my quick attempt at using a Google Custom Search Engine to search SA blogs:

The included sites are automatically generated from URLs tagged “sablogs” on del.icio.us, crudely ranked by number of saves.

And no adverts…
