Specialized search engine for: Physics, maths and philosophy




Billions of websites are available on the web and plenty of extremely
good search engines are there like Google, Yahoo and Live to name few
of them. And this search engines are generic in nature that means
they can be used for any topic or keyword. Apart from this they will
generally provide thousands (or even more) search results for very
common searches as they index sites they have faintest traffic (even
500 hits per day).

Though this search engines have extremely efficient, complex and
beautiful algorithms designed by gems of the industry, the above
mentioned facts may not deliver best results for the advanced users
due to following reasons:

(1) Normally a user (and specially advanced user) is not willing to
look more than 20-30 results to find out exact information they are
looking for and it really doesn't matter that one search engine gives
fifty thousand results and other search engine gives three lack
results to the end user.

(2) As the search engines tend to index maximum number of sites they
generally tend to include some irrelevant sites in the results as they
may find matching text in completely different context.

Though these and some more problems does not bother normal user and
even to advance users in most of the cases, but they are cases when it
really matters (specially when you are searching for the topics of
your personal interests). Google has come up with "Custom Search
Engine" when you can build your own search engine based on your taste
or interests.

I have built one such custom search engine:

http://contemplative-search.blogspot.com/

This search engine is specialized in following topics:

Mathematics, Physics, Particle Physics, Cosmology, Relativity Theory,
Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, String Theory, Osho, Rajaneesh,
Spiritual, Zenism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Philosophy, Game Theory etc.

If you are interested in above kind of subjects then I will suggest
you to try it out and decide its worth by your self.

You like it or not, still would like to here your praise/complaints or
even you can suggest sites on any of the above topics ate:
prashant.thanki@xxxxxxxxx

This search engine has just born and will keep evolving and to do this
your feedback is really important.

If you own any website or blog on any of the above topics and you are
interested in providing this search ability into your site you can use
the following code to do that:

<form id="searchbox_014159634368283035224:pnuz0wemnfw" action="http://
www.google.com/cse">
<input type="hidden" name="cx"
value="014159634368283035224:pnuz0wemnfw" />
<input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:1" />
<input name="q" type="text" size="40" />
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />

</form>

Thanks,
