Goyams.com

Another small script I made out of the blues.

You can query 3 search engines with different search weights on one click and view the top 40 results.

I came to know more of Google’s, Yahoo’s and MSN’s Search API when doing this script. Google’s API sucks the most and Yahoo’s the best in terms of performance, flexibility and ease of use. MSN came in second to Yahoo.

Though Googles API is somewhat comprehensive but it set limits that you wanna think that they don’t really intend developers to use it. 10 results per query and max of 1000 queries a day arghhh ….. Another thing is that 20% of the time the connection fails and it seems google doesn’t plan to support this SOAP API thing in the long run. They have this new Ajax Search API that they are promoting parallel to the SOAP API.

Anyways you may try Goyams here

    I tried Goyams for the keyphrase “SEO Dance” while I’ve set it at 100% Yahoo and the results did not match with that of Yahoo.

    How’s that?

    Hi Alfa,

    I think its a datacenter issue. Im getting different results too when I try to search Yahoo using a proxy server.

    Is the site down? I just tried it and get an page that looked like a lot of code. I get the same result when I put Google to zero. Are you going to be removing Google now that they’ve turned off their API? Have you seen the site releton.com? Thanks.

    Are you sharing the source code for this project? I have a variation I’d like to try, and would be happy to share the end result.

    Thanks!
