Thanks to my friend Paul Woodhouse over at the Tinbasher I’ve discovered the search facility known as Swicki. Now the thing about a swicki is that it learns from the users that search, so over time it will provide the most relevant links. According to the FAQ at the swicki site:
A swicki is new kind of search engine that allows anyone to create deep, focused searches on topics you care about. Unlike other search engines, you and your community have total control over the results and it uses the wisdom of crowds to improve search results. This search engine, or swicki, can be published on your site. Your swicki presents search results that you’re interested in, pulls in new relevant information as it is indexed, and organizes everything for you in a neat little customizable widget you can put on your web site or blog, complete with its very own buzz cloud that constantly updates to show you what are hot search terms in your community.
Well if it can help with finding more relevant links to steel related searches, and less to unrelated topices that happen to use the term “steel” or “strip” in another context, well it might make my life easier.
Give it a try the search box is on the right.
Once again cheers Mr. Butler !
