-ben Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 So I got a google API key, and decided to create a search engine with it. I came out with this: http://ben.statichost.com/ It's just a small little project, nothing big, and nothing that could compete with major search engines, but I am still proud of it. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it and find it useful in some way! Tell me what you think of it too! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 -ben Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 Very cool Ben... out of interest, was the Google API easy to use? It wasn't that hard, I read guides and other sites to figure out how to get it working, I used something called nusoap too and a search script, other than finding and learning all of that, it's fairly easy. Thanks for the comments everyone! If there is any way to make it better, please let me know. I only wish I could add alot more features to it, like weather, image search maby, and such.
