Find a new API or introduce a custom search? I hacked in a custom google search widget so users won't totally lose their minds while searching but it's far from ideal as is. I'm not sure how to pass data into this widget but it has nice search options overall. The next step is to either: - Drive down to Microsoft HQ and beg - Improve the google CSE - Create custom search with solr or whatever - Something else A custom search would probably work best but it involves real work and server resources. And it'd at least give us a good reason to better research what users are searching for. Regards, Philip
