"Federated" - Search
Google Coop lets you filter Googles search
index so that a Google Search engine can be used to search only web sites determined by the filtering you setup in an xml file. The web site(s) selected
by the xml file can be multiple URL's, a single URL site or a single directory in a site. I have setup four filters
to demonstrate this below.
XML filter to Search the University of Waikato (multiple) web URL's here:
XML filter to Search the Library (A large subdirectory on the University of Waikato site):
XML filter to Search the Fletcher Index (A single subdirectory on the University of Waikato site):
XML filter to Search University of Waikato ADT site (a single URL):
[Also note that ADT doesn't normally have a "full text" search BUT Google does extract text from the PDF's!]
Further examples of using Google Coop are the following sites at
Historical Photos
and at
Historical Maps.
