Testing a search application with the Google API
Posted by Jesse Rodgers on August 30, 2005 at 06:12 PM
More detailed information to follow in the coming days but for now I am looking for some testers. Please give this search a try and let me know what you think by posting below. You can enter your own searches in the top right box on that page. It will only give you the first 10 results however.
We have built a search that hits up UWdir, a keyword database, and Google using the Google API. If you have a UWdir user and pass you can try out submitting changes to the keyword database but don’t try with IE, it won’t work. The Javascript is Firefox/Safari/Opera only for the keyword changes at the moment.
Yes there are cosmetic issues, but looking more for functional problems at the moment. Let me know what you think!
update: the authentication issue on changing the keywords is a result of a vhost setting on pole that is forcing .htaccess style authentication on put, get, etc commands in https://cpadev – request has been sent, should work fine tomorrow. Fixed now, issue was related to webDAV settings. So please go and test submitting keyword changes.
