  • Website Search Hurts My Feelings
    There are actually plenty of non-ES products that are way easier to integrate and tune (and get better results with less effort). - Typesense (https://github.com/typesense/typesense). - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • How To De-index Your Docs From Google (And Then Fix It)
    One other important detail — there is an in-site search for the C7 docs. Notably, it is built on a programmable Google search engine. Basically, that means that the search functionality on the site is powered by Google. A search query entered into the C7 docs search box gives basically the same results as entering the query on google.com and filtering by site:docs.camunda.org. Again, "foreshadowing....". - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago
  • Swirl: An open-source search engine with LLMs and ChatGPT to provide all the answers you need 🌌
    Using the Galaxy UI, knowledge workers can systematically review the best results from all configured services including Apache Solr, ChatGPT, Elastic, OpenSearch, PostgreSQL, Google BigQuery, plus generic HTTP/GET/POST with configurations for premium services like Google's Programmable Search Engine, Miro and Northern Light Research. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago
  • Mullvad Leta
    We used this for a project: https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/ before we moved to Elastic Search. It has a REST API (and can be used to query the internet also). - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Tutorial: Create an AI agent that reads Wikipedia for you
    First, you need to create a programmable search engine for Wikipedia. - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago
  • hi
    It's just the old google customizable search. I think the new product they have now is this: https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • One search box 2 websites.
    I was wondering if there is a way a search box can browse through two websites at once. The websites are built on Wordpress. I read about making a "custom search engine" eg. google's solution but it won't cut it. So is there a way I can make a custom search box that has two sources or is there a plugin for something similar. The websites are on the same domain but different subdomain if that makes any difference. Source: over 1 year ago
  • The Best Marketing Tools and Integrations for your Static Site
    We recommend: Pagefind for static sites up to 100K pages. It’s hard to beat CloudCannon’s own Pagefind — a free, open-source tool that sips as little of your users’ bandwidth as possible, while serving lightning-fast and finely configurable results. Even better, Pagefind’s search index is rebuilt automatically when your site builds, meaning it’s always up to date. For larger sites or more complex needs, we’d... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
  • IS IT POSSIBLE TO BUILD A SEARCH ENGINE AS A COLLEGE STUDENT?
    If this is purely for your own learning, power to you. This is not an easy task as you're hitting on a lot of different areas. But if you really just want this kind of functionality out of the box, leverage google and make a programmable search engine. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Any good static search plugin for WordPress?
    Maybe try something like google programmable search engine? https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Show HN: Oldest Search – Search for the oldest result on internet
    Hey, I'm the developer. It is pretty straightforward. We've created a google custom search engine (https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/). We are basicly sorting the results from oldest to newest. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • Pinry: A Selfhosted Alternative to Pinterest
    You can make a whitelist-only search engine with Google's programmable search engine. It's quite useful; I've made a social media only search, one for programming (stackoverflow, GitHub, GitLab), one for education. The possibilities are endless.

  • [general]The rationalwiki article on reality shifting (warning,may be demotiviating for some)
    Which you can find here https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/ if you want to make your own. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Show HN: Redditle.com – For those of us who add 'Reddit' to every Google search
    - same, except embed -> https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/ context - we use all of those plus Bing, etc. For https://breezethat.com. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
  • uBlock Origin becomes #1 addon on Firefox beating Adblock Plus
    I've started using https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/ which is a programmable, custom search engine that Google provides. I only include sites that I want to. For news, I have a separate search engine; for programming, I include Gitlab, Github, and others. It's quite nice, and you can share your search engines with others via a public URL. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
  • Lego has designed a set that can't be taken apart
    It actually is a search engine now. (It uses Google Search via https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • Ask HN: What are these low quality “Code Snippet” sites?
    Https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/ I have stack exchange, github, and all the canonical documentation sites for my projects in mine. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • Google wants to build Stadia into a white label platform option
    So, kinda like what they did with Google Search? Source: over 2 years ago
  • Meta: Reddit deletes the UC Davis pepper spray photo from r/all and r/pics.
    In return I offer this: Google lets you build you own custom search engine, where you can choose what kind of results you are interested in, what to include, what to exclude. You could make one that only displays results found on reddit for example. Here is a link to the tool https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • One Year of TILs
    Have you tried making your own google search? You can pick what sites it will search. I'm not sure if you can say "Prioritize these sites, but still give me results from other sites too". I do wish there was something next to each search result though that was like "I like this site, include it more often." or "This site is garbage, ignore it forever" I think it was this thing:... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
  • Walgreens has free 8x10 Photo Print with code: APRIL8X10
    I run a freebie site and ended up making a custom search engine that pulls from these free stock image sources:. Source: about 3 years ago
