- Bahimiron, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Are vertical search engines for tallscreen monitors?
- gmiley, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Your ability to use "Reply" sucks camels.
- thegoldenavatar, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I just use a firefox shortcut with the location set to "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Adigg.com+%s&btnG=Search" and the keyword set to "ds" then just type "ds ". Yeah it's an unnecessary workaround, but it solves the problem of the crappy digg search.
- willemmulder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6no ads, no spam, no site
- thegoldenavatar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5"ds <whatever>" that is. Apparently < and > don't work unless you escape them.
- bigfkncee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5if you use firefox with greasemonkey,try this
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7402 - RyanOC, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I once saw Digg's search at a donkey show
- merreborn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I too, was dismayed to find that the article doesn't actually define vertical search.

- jer2eydevil88, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Trouble with putting the search at the top of the page is that it takes the eye off the promotion we are running. We aren't really faced with a big enough website to warrant a more prominent search box yet. We may take you up on the idea of adding search inside the box though.
Thanks for the suggestions. - Yerknutz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Helps if you spell your own site name correctly in the link provided o.O blog.demodulated.com is what you were going for?
- spyrochaete, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Custom Search is so-so. I tried it on my blog but I found the ads too intrusive. Also, I couldn't quite get it to match my website theme.
If you care to see, here's my website (no ads, no spam, I promise!) - http://blog.demodaulted.com/
and here's a SERP from Google Custom Search - http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&cof=GL%3A2%3BS%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.demodulated.com%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.demodulated.com%2Flogos%2Fdemodulated6.gif%3BLH%3A103%3BLW%3A534%3BBGC%3A%23222222%3BT%3A%23cccccc%3BLC%3A%23aacc66%3BVLC%3A%23ddee99%3BALC%3A%23cccc66%3BGALT%3A%23999999%3BGIMP%3A%23999999%3B&domains=blog.demodulated.com&q=test&btnG=Search&sitesearch=blog.demodulated.com - spyrochaete, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Very nice implementation! Might I suggest bringing search to the top of the page? I think you also ought to put the word "search" in text near that field. Whenever I'm at a cluttered site (not that yours is, necessarily) I look for search near the top, and failing that, I use my browser's find command to look for the word "search".
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2For a business its great, we put it on our new site http://www.zigzap.com and found the search could be integrated fairly well and that our customers love it.
- spyrochaete, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I'm a huge moron. My sincerest apologies.
http://blog.demodulated.com/ is my site - spyrochaete, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I think this search engine does a better job of segregating ads from results than google.com does!
- slipsec, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Is this really different than just googling for " something site:digg.com" ?
- saint1959, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Depending on how you use the CSE, yes, it can be very different. You can use a CSE to just search, say 100 of what you think are the best sites about a particular subject like auto parts or independent music reviews. If you only want to use it for one site, you can incorporate the search box and results into your web site so that visitors can search your site while at the web site instead of having to go to Google.com and do a site search.
- saint1959, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Google's CSE is pretty kick-ass...I've used it to create a couple of in-house projects as well as one public search engine. Like most web tools, you get out of it what you put into it. If you just open up a CSE account and add 20 web sites (or your own web site if you only want to use it for site search) without doing any additional configuration, it isn't going to be very good. It has a lot of advanced functionality (well advanced for me anyway, experienced programmers out there might disagree I suppose) that really let you customize how results get weighted and thus with some tweaking it delivers very good results.
- InsaneMachine, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1therefore you suck camels, because you created the comment that sucks camels.
