I've recently experimented with swicki to make custum search engines around themes. The results are alright, but I wonder: is there a better alternative out there? So which do you prefer?
Like Bobchrist, I prefer technorati for blog searches, but Yahoo, only because of the other services they offer, as my basic search engine.
So far people prefer google, mostly. What is it that makes you prefer google coop? If you prefer something else, why?
Well, I've tried swicki - and though the search results are disappointing (yahoo-based - makes you realize how far behind yahoo really is) - I do like that swicki has a tag-cloud included. So if you use their widget (I guess that's what you call it) you get a search-box + tag cloud included. I think that's what won me over to use it for my own site.
