Creating Your Own Search engine

Creating your own search engine is not a big issue with the availability of the current technology. Apart from that, if you want to get results thrice that of a single search engine.. here is a mechanism for you to search with Live, Google as well as Yahoo at the same time.

First: Goto this link exposed by Microsoft

Second: Beneath the Create Your Own, at the 3rd step, type http://mysearchoff.com/?q=TEST

The reason being that, http://mysearchoff.com is the place where you can perform a search with the above (Three) search engines. The trick is this, we are going to use this facility for our IE.

Final Step: Name the search as Sweet as you like and Press Install button.

By pressing the Install button the JScript of the webpage will install the search component on your IE. And you can see that on the top right corner of your IE with the name that you have given at the 3rd step.

Note: This works only with IE7 or IE 8. You can see that the search on my IE looks as seen below ..

Runtime in LocalLanguage

Though the runtime that is released on 28th March 2008 is not related to .NET, but I see a huge breakthrough from Microsoft towards the runtime engine growth as well as the next generation runtime engines. Infact, if they could do it with MS-Access, it is not a big deal for Microsoft to introduce such similar runtime for .NET CLR as well.

Hopefully, in the near future we would see the same kind of runtime for .NET as well, leveraging the .NET languages to the next level of localisation. Honestly many a kind of the following questions are cooking in my mind... help me if you have any clue for any of the following

• Do we really require a localised version as such?
• What benefit that a localised runtime will add feather to the application?

Rather confirmed, am now more confused... who will help me..
