DjangoSearch - Focused Search Results for Django
Published 8 months, 2 weeks ago
DjangoSearch is becoming a nice resource for finding Django-related information - be it reference material, articles, tutorials, example code, pluggable apps, etc. DjangoSearch is a Google Custom Search Engine and is based on a carefully selected set of URLs that have highly relevant content. Alrond (site creator) is accepting suggestions for URLs to add and he will accept suggestions after performing a quick quality review on the content on the suggested site. This will help ensure that search results are probably relevant to what users are looking for. Many users will probably be happy to see options for searching in several languages. Additionally he offers feeds of articles in over a dozen different languages. If you a Firefox fan, you can also grab a search bar plugin. I've added a DjangoSearch widget to my sidebar just below the search box for Unbracketed (which is also based on a Google CSE).
I'm already in the habit of checking there first and falling back on GOOG or the other ol' standbys in the rare event nothing surfaces. There are some additional handy links on the site - go check it out!
