SearchTopix.com enables anyone to easily create a custom web search engine that is focused on a particular topic. The person chooses the topic and the web sites that are searched by the engine. By hand picking the most informative sites the search engine is fine-tuned to return the most relevant search results on the topic.
"The internet contains a large amount of information that can be inaccurate, confusing, or just plain wrong. The point of a custom search engine is to direct users to the most valuable and accurate content while excluding the noise," said Douglas Olson, Founder and Director of Development at Midnight Design Productions, LLC.
SearchTopix encourages people to create search engines for their favorite topics or interests. For example, a person into photography can create a search engine that searches the most informative photography sites on the internet. The search engine can then be used by anyone interested in photography to search for high quality information on the subject.
SearchTopix can be used by science and education to create search engines on academic topics. For example, a search engine on global warming can be configured to search the most credible and informative sites on the subject. A search for "carbon dioxide" will return only results that pertain to global warming and no other subjects. This precise targeting of search results is not possible when using a general purpose search engine.
Every SearchTopix search engine has a dedicated home page that is customizable. For example, the look can be customize by uploading a search background image that reflects the topic of the search engine. Other facets such as the search engine description, auto-complete keywords, word cloud, and current news can be configured.
SearchTopix encourage community collaboration by making the list of sites searched by an engine publically editable. This feature, which is enabled by default, allows registered users to add or remove web sites from a search engine. Encouraging public contribution creates an environment of community ownership and collaboration.
