Have you ever tried to Google some odd error message you got from GoldMine? Have you found way too many irrelevant references to movies and such?

Google now provides a way to create your own focused, community driven search engine for a specific subject area. I took the liberty of creating a GoldMine one. It can be found here: Google for GoldMine Tech Stuff

Much like the search wiki mentioned in an older post, this search engine can be customized by the users! If you see something in your results that has nothing to do with CRM software or GoldMine, tell the engine and it will respect that the next time you (or anyone else) searches for the same thing!

The search box can even be embedded on other web sites or e-mails, even! Here’s a simple version you can try out right here:

  1. Ok, try it now.. I honed it’s scope down a bit…

    Note that the Google co-op idea encourages others to volunteer to tweak the search engine’s created under it (ie. adding and blocking various sites from the search results)

  2. Nice idea. Doesn’t work. For example, searching on the term “SQL”, none of the results on the first three pages even relate to Goldmine. I stopped looking after three pages.
