Hello,

Any One has implemented this two technolgies within LINKSQL, We are interested.
1) Search Within The First Search Results - Like Search Within This category.
2) Search The web ( Bring search resullts from other major search engine) and display within our standard results templates.

Please let us know.

>> 1) Search Within The First Search
>> Results - Like Search Within This category.

No, but that would be sort of tricky. CGI is a stateless medium. The only way you could do it is to save the searches (cache them) then work within that subset. Otherwise, you'd just be tightening the search criteria to (first search) and (second search).

You can pass queries to other search engines, but parsing their output and inserting it into a standard set of templates is a project all unto itself. Every time the search engines change their output format, you'd have to change the template parser.

The most reasonable way would be to pass the query to the search egine in a frame, with navigation controls on the top (sort of like GO). That way, the user would be able to use their engine, but still surf back to you.

The other problem is licensing. Only ODP has made their directory available for your use, in exchange for a link. The others all have other terms of use.
