This is awesome! I just redesigned the entire engine again. It looks great. That front end I put up yesterday still looked boring so I redesigned the engine site again with a fabulous site template. A couple things:To submit new sites to the engine or report irrelevant stuff, please use this new form.

One challenge for me was to make the new search engine site compatible with IE and Firefox. Everything appeared fine in IE but when viewed from Firefox, the bulleted lists were strangely double spaced. Fixed that with a few HTML code tweaks. There was a bunch of other things that looked weird in Firefox but its all fixed now. The site should look the same in IE and Firefox.

Check out the new design and tell me what you think!!

Well...no opinions I guess wink.gif

I added a few more sites:

netkas.freeflux.net
semthex.com

Please, if there are any sites that you see that are not on the wiki, CONTACT ME and give me the URLs. I want to make this engine as complete and useful as possible.

Thanks

I modified the engine so that the results appear within the existing page.

I just took the search to a whole new level. Using Conduit, I created a search toolbar for IE and Firefox that allows you to search the OSx86 Search Engine from anywhere! Download and instructions:

http://######.com/downloads/osx86search.htm

EDIT: This is a minor thing but I also added an OSx86 Favicon to the search engine.

The link doesn't seem to work.

WOOT! I created a search bar addon for the OSx86 Search Engine. See this thread for details:

I made another search engine to search ONLY the OSx86 Wiki and InsanelyMac. This search engine can ALSO be accessed at www.osx86search.co.nr, side by side with the older search engine I made that searches all OSx86 content. I also made a search plugin for the engine that only searches InsanelyMac and the OSx86 Wiki. You can download it at www.osx86search.co.nr, the same way you download the other search bar plugin except choose "Add OSx86 Project and InsanelyMac Search" from the search bar drop down menu.

Enjoy!

I removed the downloads and videos from the main engine and made 2 new engines that can also be accessed side by side and www.osx86search.co.nr. They search only downloads and videos. I have also made corresponding search plugins for both. I also removed some unrelated sites and stuff.

Enjoy!

Well I removed the Video and Torrent search because they are useless and take too much space.

This a great tool, I wish they would built it into the site somewhere.
