Slashdot Mirror
Playing with Google
Chromatic sent over the links to Tara Calishain's Happy Google Hacks page. It's basically a collection of interesting ways to do searching - something fun for the weekend. I'm thinking of preparing dinner Sunday based on the recipe tool.
Note: If you get a "no search results" message for a search that you'd expect results, this may be because the key has been used up for the day. Sigh. 1000 queries at ten results each isn't a whole lot, is it?
You gotta love slashdot and it's slashdotting....
Don't quote me on this.
Does google embraces this form of use?
What about all the legal bs lately about altering the look of a website, does this apply to search results?
If I wrote software that altered the google search results page to remove the paid listings would they have a legal standing to object, or would the simple fact that it's a search result page and I'm supposed to try and get the information I want, and only what I want(ie: +enhance +performance +car -porn)nullify this legal precedent?

Do a search for "goatsex", with the 'x' at the end, and look at what google recommends ;-).

I'm a little tea pot.
Long time ago, I began to think about graphing someones "impact" in this world by letting google hunt for his/her name.
The pre-result can be watched at my homepage.
It's important not just to look at the real number but to watch the number growing and declining.
Anna Lührmann (age 19) was elected as member of Parliament 09/23/2002 and her google score just doubled within some days.
Maybe I'm going to reimplement this thing by using the google API and some funny php/lib_gd tools.
Well, I guess I first have to question if the use of "Google" (tm, copyright, patented, etc) in the subject line is legal?
/. Google'd them I can't Google them to see other interesting Google tid bits.
How DO you look up the Google'd cache on Google for Hacking the Happy Google? I'm sure it's probably an answer in the Google hack, but since
I understand its fun to think up words for all kinds of things, but "GooCooking"? Couldn't she come up with something in better er.. taste than that?
Have you seen http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/?
Oh honey! Google me again and there's no telling what I'll do... no wait, keep googling, yeah, yeah, even find my old high school pictures. Damn, you google better than anyone I know, how did you turn THAT up? ...Oh wow... I promise, I'll google you next... oooh baby, oooh your results are amazing...I think I'm gonna google...phew...
Damn, that was the *best* google I ever had. Promise.

What a stupid pathetic news item.
Useless website with absolute crap on it. couldnt care less!
With Google's new API ( http://www.google.com/apis/ ) using search engines is now even more fun and flexible. Since I first started playing with the API in April 2002, I've had several different ideas for ways to make the best use of it. Some of the ideas are little "sketches", while some are more thought-out programs.
This toolbox is a workbench for me to play with different ideas online, and make the interfaces publicly available so you can take a look at them too. So poke around, try the tools, and if you've got any ideas let me know what you think. Some of these tools, with codes and discussion about how they work, are available in the O'Reilly book Google Hacks.
If you want to use these tools, please please PLEASE consider getting a key from http:// www.google.com/apis/ . All you'll have to do is register. Programs will have key interfaces added to them over time. I only have one key, and it can be used only 1000 times a day, so with all these tools that key isn't going to go far. Some of the tools don't use the API key, thank goodness.
This Web site is so not finished it's not even funny. Pardon any dead-ends or under- constructions.

That would require that they had nuclear weapons. But they don't, and they are nowhere near being able to produce any. Israel is the only country in the mideast with nuclear weapons. America should be worried about North Korea, not Iraq.
I originally believed the title ("Playing With Google") meant some fun things you can do with those various goo elements you can find in toy stores. ; )
All I'm getting is Internal Server Errors. Can it be slashdotted already? Darn, and I was looking forward to finding a recipe for "Peanut Butter, Jelly, and Bread", I just don't know what to do with them!
the concept of ranking someone's "fame" by search engine results dates back to the debut of Altavista. Not new by a long shot...

Eww... that sounds like some strange goo cooking all right! Better think twice before you cook Sunday dinner with this tool.
I thought so.

Guess us slashdot folk threw a wrench in the gears. Hmmm...
The objective of GoogleWhack is to find two words that when searched for only coincide on one page. The number of hits the individual words have are multipied together to get your score. Enjoy wasting some time =D
its so hard to find war news...
That made no sense.
Some people make no sense.
Yau whare! Dan't attack slashdat! :)
I use google fight to solve disputes sometimes.

We slashdotted this site already.. so I was going to post a link to the google cache of this page so i could karma whore, but somehow it isn't in the cache.
:) By the way, if you ask this toy about slashdot, it says:
Oh well..
Well, i don't know if it's on the site's list, since i can't reach the site, but here's my favorite google toy. I really hope i don't slashdot it by linking it

I play with my google. ;)
im still hacking gopher search queries, why switch to google, is it another trick from apple?
Well, you're still lucky. Guess what happens to 5 year old George Washington when he does what you did.

Stuart, do you results become more accurate when you exclude the town of this park for example?

could someone explain to me what exactly the smiley faces in the internet explorer google toolbar addon do? and is there any other interface to submit feedback to google?

when an article appeared on ZDNet (Belgium) about Filemaker Pro's being accessible through google with a simple search. So I searched for phpmyadmin... I downloaded like 10500 mails from other people from a webmail service once called "mailalien.com".. Got like 20000+ passwords off porn sites (with their mail addresses) and I believe I can just place an order for some new pentiums if I want. I don't call this hacking, I can screw up like 70+ sites in 5 seconds without having to pass ANY form of security. Just did a test, this db is STILL accessible, unbelievable... Try "db4allen"
See, some of them think that this link was to a 'leet version of Google. If they find out otherwise, they might also start to suspect that the new "laptop" I swapped in is really an etch-a-sketch.
For me, the site is good example of what else you can do with google if you go a bit under the plain interface it have, but, like in the World of Ends site say for internet, the main google interface and main use should be as "dumb" as it is now, and top of it anyone could do this kind of hacks (you can do even a directory of hacks, like Yahoo but pointing to google hacks for each category)
If you ran a search engine, wouldn't you want to block other search engines (and indeed your own search engine) from indexing your results? Search engine results pages probably shouldn't appear as hits on search engine results pages, after all :-)
/services/ and so on, so all their static content is indexable - it's just the results that aren't)
(Google haven't blocked

One of the 1st 3 links in that search result (GoatSE) is for a site with a detailed analisys of the Goatse man.
The author has figured out that "he" is a hermafrodite and the cavernus opening is actualy a vagina.

Even google itself looks slashdotted, or was that what you meant ? :)

We killed google, we are all going to burn in hell for this.
Did we slashdot google? All I'm getting when I try to stalk people this morning ... I mean do research on legitimate queries ... is an error. Just tried again ... google's not even responding now.
Is this us?
>goatse.cx certainly isn't there.
Yes it is.

I do believe that Google has been slashdotted. I'm getting server errors on google. Try again later.
I've never seen that before and this with an over 15,000 Linux server farm.
I didn't think it possible - but hopefully this will be straightened out in a few minutes.
I had already ordered the book by this individual: Google Hacks - an O'Reilly publication - but Amazon didn't have it in as of a week ago..
Oh my god, you killed Google!
Another useful site that uses an alternative interface for Google is Fagan Finder. It has all the difference google searches and related options on one page. (There is also an MSIE-only JS version which I have not used). Fagan Finder is a guide to SE's and directories; probably quite a useful site for those new to the web (and its SE's and directories) for getting around (and if one cannot find info on something in particular easily).

of a slashdot article being a few days behind memepool...
I don't have a sig, can I borrow yours?
Google's API docs give as an example an application which would notify you of new documents that appear in a particular search. In order to truely successfully implement this, you'd need to be able to index much much more than the 1000 hits that google allows. Anyone done this using HTTP rather than Google's API?
So I do GooPoetry, and I want a Beat-type poetry, and I want something on Apache Web Servers, so I type Apache Web Servers... and this is what I get "Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@buzztoolbox.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request." Is this some sort of... SICK JOKE. Heh. Googlized bastards! Mike

simply making a limiting statement about himself.
