Applications of Recursion
| Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 | --Sean |
As I'm sure you've heard, BOSS is our fantastic search webservices platform that gives you a flexible and powerful interface through which you can Build your Own Search Service, hence the name. BuildaSearch is a new application that allows you to build your own search service, built on top of BOSS, which...er, as we've stated...is designed to do exactly that. It's like a WYSIWYG editor for BOSS, I suppose? Frankly, I just hope that there's a market here for me to develop the some sort of highly customizable template to generate inputs into the BuildaSearch interface, which could then render a new personalized BOSS-based search engine. "BuildaBuildaSearch", I'm thinking. Has a nice ring to it.
Check out the Y! Search blog for a few search engines built on top of BOSS that are slightly less meta.
