Google Glossary, Stock Quote Links

Google Glossary, Stock Quote Links 10/28/2003 11:08 PM
Continuing Google's quest to build everything into the search results, Google Glossary has gone live on the main Google site. Do a search for something like define elephant or define dna and you get back a definition with your search results. Search for define: dna or click "more results" to see the rest of the definitions. Google Glossary is also still available separately, as part of Google Labs. Also, when you do a search for a search like apple or dell, links to company home pages now also include a stock quote link, like: Stock Quotes: AAPL. (Thanks, Ido Kenan!) In other news: Some Chinese bloggers have reported that China has blocked Google again. AdSense is going to require US tax numbers starting in November. And a French court made a silly ruling against Google, saying it's illegal to sell ads for searches that include trademarks. The ruling is expected to be overturned on appeal....

Google Revisited: Comparing Search
Engine Results

Google Revisited: Comparing Search
Engine Results 10/08/2002 09:33 PM
Google Revisited: Comparing Search Engine Results With the recent change in Google's ranking (and, in apologies to Mark Pilgrim, I now think Google has some real errors in the new ranking when I didn't think so before, but it's still not as bad as some are making it out to be), I thought it might be interesting to look at how Google compares for a specitic search with other engines. And I picked a query that has relevance to me -- Scott Johnson. No quotes, no phrases, just those two words (except for AllTheWeb which gets a special mention for automatically adding quotes). All I'm measuring is not which page comes up first but where a page that is related to me comes up. Sometimes it's a page from my website, sometimes it's a blog page and sometimes it's my O'Reilly book catalog entry. Google -- # 1 All the Web -- No Quotes -- #9 All the Web -- With Auto Inserted Quotes -- #3 HotBot -- #15 Lycos -- #6 Teoma -- #1 LookSmart (inktomi powered results) -- #31 Wisenut -- #1 Alta Vista -- #1 What's really interesting here is that almost all of this is almost certainly related to my blog. I didn't have anywhere near these kind of results before I was a blogger. It's also extremely interesting to me the similarities between Google, Teoma, Wisenut and Alta Vista. That's just plain shocking to me. True the comparison isn't entirely valid since they result in different pages at times but these searches all give results related to me. Lessons From All This There are two easy lessons from all this: Right now the single best search engine optimization technique? A simple weblog. And I know that Google seems to treat radio.weblogs.com as a highly valid source of input so I recommend Radio. But I think it really matters that you blog regularly and somewhat consistently. Don't spend exorbitant fees on search engine optimization. As ranking algorithms have gotten much more complex without explicit, inside knowledge of how the engines work it is very unclear to me that it works at all anymore. I suspect that you'll get dramatically better results by becoming a blogger.

Tech question about results of Google
image search for "Abu Ghraib" 05/26/2004 10:20 AM
Boingboing reader Greg asks,

I find it interesting to note that Google image search doesn't have any of the pics of the Abu Ghraib abuse that are floating everywhere else on the net. A search for "Abu Ghraib" does bring up photos, but none of the ones that we all saw on CNN and in the Wall Street Journal. I had searched there not long after the story broke and found none of them, but I figured it was just too new. Now, after weeks of spidering time, they still aren't there. Anyone have an idea why?

Today I’m attending a search engine research workshop run by Brad Fallon in Atlanta, Georgia, and am fascinated by the people here who obsessively track their SERPs (search engine results placement, jargon for what match number you are on Google for a given search term). My part of this workshop is to talk about how blogging can help your search engine placement, but what I’m actually talking about is whether SERP is a meaningful measure… Direct and Related Links for 'Why you should be ignoring your search results'

In Search of Good Results
http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?1002877

A recent survey by FIND/SVP found that 84% of business executives queried thought Web searches using commercial search engines took longer than they should because they tended to deliver too many irrelevant results, resulting in an estimated loss of $31 billion in lost productivity. In addition, 74% expressed doubts that the results were reliable and 39% felt that information found online is outdated. Despite their reservations, 67% indicated it would be difficult or impossible to do their jobs without Web-based search tools, with 28% reporting they spend between 6 and 10 hours a week researching online. The most sought after information was financial information and reports, followed by information on competitors. "The commercial search market is dominated by search engines that must target the broadest consumer audience possible, with the broadest scope of content, in order to sell advertisements for any and every product and service possible," says a META Group VP. "The commercial search market has barely begun to address the untapped demand for highly specialized and screened content and we believe this market is poised for growth in the next three to five years."

Using PHP Includes for MT Search Results

Using PHP Includes for MT Search Results 07/04/2004 03:28 PM

A lot of people want to roll their own search with Movable Type. Us, for instance — Gadgetopia has a two-tiered search system based on whether the search term appears in the title, keywords, or body of the entry (see this post for more information).

Our search is done in with SQL and PHP, abandoning the MT search system completely. The probem with this method is rendering the search results. If you don't use MT, then you lose two things:

(1) Auto-creation of the permalink. The URL isn't stored anywhere in the database, so you have to recreate it. If your URLs are just based on the entry ID, then it's not hard. However, look at our URLs — they're a conglomoration of the date and the entry title. We'd have to create a PHP function to recreate this scheme — and if we ever changed the URL structure from within MT, we'd have to change the PHP function separately.

(2) Text filters. If you're just converting line breaks, the text filter is not so hard to re-produce. However, if you're using Textile or some other plug-in to filter your text, you're going to have to reproduce that in PHP as well so the previews render correctly.

You can avoid all this, however, by simply using PHP includes and an extra Individual Entry Archive. The result is an elegant solution that blends PHP and MT to eliminate the tedium of recreating MT functionality in PHP.

To do this, create a new Individual Entry Archive in MT called "search_fragment." This template should contain the just HTML to present a single search result. Like this:


<tr class="title">
  <td class="title">
    <a href="<MTEntryPermalink>"><MTEntryTitle></a>
  </td>
  <td class="date">
    <MTEntryDate format="%m/%d/%Y">
  </td>
</tr>
<tr class="excerpt">
  <td colspan="2">
    <MTEntryExcerpt>
  </td>
</td>


Configure this template to generate a file in a "search_fragments" directory named for the entry ID only. You don't even have to add an extention, though you can if you like (if so, you'll need the change the PHP code listed below). So the entry in the archiving configuration would be something like:

search_fragments/<MTEntryID>

Now when an entry rebuilds, it will create two files: (1) its normal archive file, and (2) a search result fragment file called "1", "2", "348", etc. in the search_fragments directory. Notice that since we're using standard MT templates to create the fragment, the permalink will be created by MT, and the excerpt text will be formatted according to the text filter the entry is using.

Now, when you use your SQL to get your search results, just SELECT the entry ID, then spin through those and use PHP to include the matching search fragment file. Like this:


<table>
  <?php
    while ($r = mysql_fetch_assoc($keywordResults)) {
      @include "search_fragments/" . $r['entry_id'];
    }
  ?>
</table>


This will dump the contents of each search fragment file in the table. Since each file contained two rows, the resulting table will be valid HTML. Notice we're surpressing any errors on the inclusion line just in case a file is missing for some reason.

We've be using this system here for months, and it works great.
