Google Offers BSD Search

Posted by Nik on from the NP:-make-world dept.

Mitch Connard was one of several to note that "Google now has a BSD search to go along with its Linux search. The search seems very accurate." I never played with the Linux version, but from what I can gather this means that your searches are restricted to BSD specific sites. Very handy.

    the correct URL for the BSD Google search is http://www.google.com/bsd -- no trailing slash.

    A quick search (the obligatory search for foo) brought back a bunch of BSD-specific stuff.

  4. How does it work? by Enzondio · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering if there is actually a separate database that this thing pulls out of or if it basically just inserts "BSD" into your search automatically. The latter would be decidedly unimpressive so I assume that is not the case. Anyone know which it is?
