Building Your Own Local Search Engine

Quite a few bloggers out there have clued-in to how using Eurekster’s Swickis on their blogs can be a cool feature enhancement, providing custom thematic search engines for their users.

Eurekster Makes Swickis Wiki-er

Eurekster released a set of Web 2.0 upgrades to its Swicki (search plus wiki) collaborative search engine to make search results more participatory and personalized. The new "Community Features" allow swicki users to vote in favor of or against results that appear on the page. Or, if something's missing that should be there, users can write their own search result and add it to the index.
