Anyone see Google co-op this morning? If not, go here: > **[Google Co-op Launches | TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2006/10/23/google-custom-search-tomorrow/)** > > Google just launched a customized search service called Google Co-op (screen shots below). Co-op allows a user to create and launch a search engine with just a few specific websites included. Searches will return results from only that website. Users... Anyway I have set up a Ruby on Rails search engine: > **[Programmable Search Engine by Google](https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/)** > > Help people find what they need on your website. Add a customizable search box to your web pages and show fast, relevant results powered by Google. At the moment it only searches the main Rails sites, the wiki, the api docs, the ruby code and stdlib but anyone can suggest/add new sites to add to it. I don’t know how easy it is to add new sites to the search but I think that including the really good Ruby/Rails blogs on here would make it a pretty useful resource because I know I dont have a definitive list of doc sites in there yet. What I think is really powerful is the suggestion feature means that hopefully we wont end up with 20 Rails search engines like Rollyo but because of the suggestion feature, we might actually end up with a definitive one that everyone has contributed to.

Really cool. Can you add an inurl? ala… site:bigbold.com inurl:rails which finds stuff in: [BigBold - Informasi Tentang Bisnis dan Marketing](http://bigbold.com/snippets/tag/rails) Adding that for the other snippets sites would be really cool, you could find rails code snatches all over. – Matthew B. :: 607 227 0871 Resume & Portfolio @ [http://madhatted.com](http://madhatted.com) ---

Bleh, and can you make the logo from the results pages point at the search start page, not [rubyonrails.org](http://rubyonrails.org)? It’s not the expected behavior, and it makes it a pain to bookmark and such. – Matthew B. :: 607 227 0871 Resume & Portfolio @ [http://madhatted.com](http://madhatted.com) ---

One day on and some bizarre things are happening, I think there are some fairly significant bugs with the service: 1. We now have 15 contributors (which seems to be something Google didn’t even consider because, well, look at the layout on the search page) but I can not see who most of them are because it does not tell me a user name or anything for all but 3 people. 2. The list of sites to search that I see in my admin interface is still the original list of sites but I can see some people have been contributing because on the front page of the search I can see this: “Ruby on Rails searches 20 sites” and I only seeded it with 8 or so. Finally, a question for those who have signed up… Do you get an admin interface with a section to add Sites and Refinements along the top menu? If so, when you go in there do you see only the sites you added or all sites including yours? Also, if you have signed up and have not set user details, please do so so you can be identified.

i agree. it seems completely pointless to have 37 different resources. (with many overlapping sources) I thought the whole idea is to wrap the best sources under one interface…? ed ---
