Nope. Waste of time.

Search engine technology is one of the most expensive high-end things out there, and nothing is going to do better than Google for a very long time.

DMOZ is the next best thing. (Yahoo is good too.)

The basic problem right now is storage and CPU speed. You can't use regular expressions to search at the moment, and regular expressions are the most powerful thing out there. When we enter the Star Trek era, then we MIGHT have something that is actually useful.

I did a few searches on the Macromedia site today, and they turned up nothing. Content is also a major problem. Very often the content just isn't there and you can't get something that doesn't exist.

The basic business model behind yellow pages listings is the searches cost money in terms of resources. Hits make money. The business model is enhanced by placing paid listings/adds up on the top of the list. Search engines eat up lots of DASD and CPU. Many run on Unix/BSD platforms with kernals optimized for searching.

There's some sort of market for highly specialized, high quality links, but it needs to be focused at a particular demographic interested in that type of content and large enough to be worth the effort. Google's trying to get close to that with Ad Sense.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Google is using Python right? At least, that's what I read somewhere on the www

EDIT I'm realizing that this is completely offtopic..

Besides, I don't like to use any 'yellow page like' index because it is usually full of spam, and the links aren't making any sense, and are updated once a year or less.
