There are 2 commands for YurNet that can be executed. The first is yurnetmeta which will give anyone YurNet's metasearch results. From the Yubnub, one would type...<br /><br />Example: yurnetmeta pizza<br /><br />The other command is yurnet. This command will compare Google searches to Technorati mentions. Search up to 3 items with commas separating them without spaces. From the Yubnub, one would type...<br /><br />Example 1: yurnet one<br />Example 2: yurnet one,two<br />Example 3: yurnet one,two,three<br /><br />Enjoy!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26445362-115691983272910585?l=yurnet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>chrissislerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247875364723250599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26445362.post-1156832239600674082006-08-28T23:15:00.000-07:002006-08-28T23:17:19.633-07:00Social meter was added to the metasearch results page for each result.<br /><br />Social meter scans the major social websites to analyze a webpage's social popularity.

When a user of one of these services finds something interesting on the web, they nominate it for consideration from other users. People then "vote" on the content, and any content that garners enough votes gets pushed forward as a recommended source for the rest of the community.</em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26445362-115673697920707816?l=yurnet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>chrissislerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247875364723250599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26445362.post-1156659044521741392006-08-26T23:07:00.000-07:002006-08-26T23:10:44.536-07:00There is a News section that is new providing up-to-date breaking news, business, science and technology, sports, entertainment, and health headlines.

The writer, <a href="mailto:info@searchenginelowdown.com">Garrett French</a>...suggested...<br /><br /><em>a suggestion for YurNet:Provide a better explanation for what each type of search is on your site. It's hard to tell from first glance that you have so many different options for searching, and once I found out I had trouble understanding right away what each section did. Have you experimented with tabs rather than a drop down menu?If you have thoughts or suggestions for YurNet please comment them - Chris is very receptive.</em><br /><em></em><br />Well, this suggestion has been implemented!

Phrase search<br />Quoted queries/keywords will be treated as a phrase.<br />Example: "YurNet search" will always try to make sure that both words are matched.<br /><br />2. AND Search ('+')<br />Putting a '+' will make sure tha this word must be matched.<br />Example: +YurNet +search<br /><br />3. NOT/Exclude Search ('-')<br />Putting a '-' will make sure that this word must not be matched.<br />Example: +YurNet -search will always try to retrieve documents that contain the word 'YurNet'but does not contain the word 'search'.<br /><br />4. OR Search<br />Putting 'OR' between words will force an 'ANY WORD' matching.<br />Example:YurNet OR search<br />YurNet or search are treated the same way and will find documents that contain at leastany of these words (YurNet, search).<br /><br />5. AND Search<br />AND Search can also be invoked using 'AND' or 'and'.<br />This is the same as using '+'.<br />Example:YurNet AND search<br />YurNet and search will try to retrieve documents containing both 'YurNet' and 'search'.<br /><br />6. NOT/Exclude Search ('NOT' or 'not')<br />This is the same as using ('-').<br />Example:YurNet NOT search<br />YurNet not search will try to retrieve documents containing the term 'YurNet'but without the term 'search' .<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26445362-115518902229605816?l=yurnet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>chrissislerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247875364723250599noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26445362.post-1154755561668082522006-08-04T22:24:00.000-07:002006-08-05T11:27:48.150-07:00YurNet's navigation has been updated...<br /><br />We have gotten a little press lately and the one critique was to improve on the site's navigation, so it has been overhauled.<br /><br />The 2 articles are from <a href="http://www.researchbuzz.org/wp/2006/08/02/yurnet-metasource-search-engine-for-your-toolbox/">Researchbuzz</a> and <a href="http://websearch.about.com/od/metasearchengines/a/yurnet.htm">About.com</a>...<br /><br />I aim to please and I think the site flows much better now!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26445362-115475556166808252?l=yurnet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>chrissislerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247875364723250599noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26445362.post-1154561479573167242006-08-02T16:27:00.000-07:002006-08-12T09:36:41.076-07:00<a href="http://www.pelicandream.co.uk">Pelican Dream</a> were the ones behind Yurnet's logo.

I would appreciate anyone who's interested to insert comments and give suggestions as to what you would like to see as a searchable topic. If it does not fall within the realm of any already posted topics on my search page, I will give it a lot of consideration.<br /><br />I created <a href="http://searchenginewatch.com/sereport/article.php/2244931#resources">Yurweb.com</a> some time ago (2003) which doesn't exist anymore. I took it offline because the idea was not fresh anymore in my mind. I am sorry if you were an avid user of this site...it was pretty popular for some time.<br /><br />I am excited to share Yurnet with you and I hope you enjoy it as well!<br /><br />In advance, I would like to thank all the search engines that emPOWER my search page. There are too many to name, but if you have a go at my search page, you'll discover who they are real quick. Of course, I have a hand in it too, it's my perl script that makes it all work behind the scenes. ;-)<br /><br />Regards,<br />Chris<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/26445362-114541932792101808?l=yurnet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>chrissislerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247875364723250599noreply@blogger.com2
