  1. Re:Is LexisNexis Still Relevant for Non-Lawrers? by Colonel+Korn · · Score: 1 · on The Ridiculous LexisNexis Search that the Justice Department Used

    You can use * between two terms to indicate any word and more * mean more words so it is a kind of manual proximity search.
    There is also a google proximity search using the google api and one for yahoo.

    Thanks! It looks like your second link indicates that the maximum word spacing between search terms is only three in Google, which could be useful, and five in Yahoo, which seems substantially more useful. I'll definitely give this a try.

  4. Web APIs welcome? by manmanic · · Score: 1 · on Google Code Jam 2004

    I reckon good applications of the Google Web APIs should also get a chance at the winnings - some crackers that spring to mind are Google Cookin recipe search, Copyscape web plagiarism search, the TouchGraph Google browser, and Google Alert for tracking topics. Isn't the point of both the Jam and the APIs to invite external developers to weave their magic around Google's platform?

  6. Web index as revenue generator by manmanic · · Score: 5, Insightful · on Google Sets IPO Pricing
    I think it's a fair price. It reflects the money Google will make in future from selling access to their web index and associated technology - a market that they haven't even begun to seriously develop. The Internet is going to be around for ever, and its content is going to keep growing exponentially until this scary vision is fulfilled. Google's search results represent (to date) the best attempt to organize this information in an intuitive user-centric way.

    In fact, they already provide programmatic access to their results via the Web APIs, spawning services ranging from a recipe generator to a site for detecting online plagiarism. According to this story, the developers of Google Alert, one well-known APIs application, have recently been granted permission to commercialize their service. My guess is that it won't be long before there are many more 3rd party Google applications, bringing in a lot of new money to Google's coffers. Anyone for a BUY rating?

    ...then there's 'Cookin with Google' which uses Google's API to give you recipies based on ingredents you choose. (it's slick). there's also Top Secret Recipies where you can learn about DIY versions of all your favorite trademarked foodstuffs (like Twinkie(R) filling and Oreos)

  8. uh... there is a google for cookbooks... by enrico_suave · · Score: 2, Informative · on Cooking with the Internet?

    it's called Cookin' With Google you enter in what items you have laying around your fridge and perhaps which type of cuisine you are interested in and it pulls up recipes on the web based upone the ingrediants you have (using a nifty google API "hack")...

  11. Google Hack for recipes by Turing+Machine · · Score: 1 · on Cooking with the Internet?

    Is there a Google for recipes?

    Well, there's a Google hack for recipes that seems to work okay. You put in the ingredients that you have on hand and it tries to find recipes using those ingredients.

    Oddly enough, I just saw this on someone's weblog earlier today. Synchronicity is a peculiar thing.
