  • Looking for a "Quake Search Engine" thread

    I remember I saw a post a long time ago with a "Quake Search Engine" list of Quake related sites.

    Someone tried to make a Google custom search engine or a browser extension, can't exactly remember.

    Does this ring a bell to anyone?

    I often see stuff related to Quake UNRELATED to our game cause it is EarthQuake hehe.

    THe Quake Search Engine makes me think about it... in fact I remember something I saw recently <3 months exactly about it... EarthQuake Search Engine.

    And if it was about the game... what would it do??

    Good to hear from you Chip... keep the good work!

      The search engine would aggregate lots of Quake I related sites, so anyone could search for specific info. The engine would only search inside, for example, QuakeOne, Inside3D, Quaddicted, func_messageboard, Planetquake, QuakeWiki (.net and .org) and more.

      I, for one, use Feedly to read latest posts/threads from my favourite Quake sites.

      But someone tried to do it and even had a list with more than 20 sites.

        have you tried like this

        https://www.google.com/search?num=10...rp.88K0fHrHl2Y

        or https://www.google.com/search?num=10...rp.dELSWqquNJQ


        Look under Search Tools, and switch to "Havent visited" , bookmark as you find good ones and then maybe after you've aggregated a nice list of sites you can setup a feed somewhere.

          That's what I'm doing right now, I was just searching for that list.

          I'm working on a nice feed list, I'll post here later about it.

              Well, that list was either here or on Inside3D. I'll try there tomorrow, too.

              I know about that gamers.org and the /planetquake/ folder, thank you.

                  I hosted a Quake-centric Yacy at Quaddicted a while ago, maybe you remember that.

                    I remember I read something on your forum, and now I searched it and found the yacy software. Not sure if this is what I'm looking for.
