A friend wanted to know how to get the Google search to work on a given URL (such as mine here, searching all of my Radio goodness). Google is by far the best search engine at the moment, and all of my content is re-indexed every 48 hours. That's hard to beat – especially for the price.It took me about 45 minutes to get it “just right”, but the overall code to do the search takes only 5 minutes and doesn't cost a thing.Here's the link to get started.http://www.google.com/services/free.html

Contrary to what my wife says, rarely does a technology make me stare at my screen with my mouth open, but I found myself simply awestruck as I began reading about ZOè.

I downloaded it, double-clicked the jar file, and it instantly opened my browser window to the main page. A few minutes later, I had it configured and tested my first email. Now it's importing all of my mail. I did a test search and it has already logged mail back to 2001 and is going strong.

ZOè is like having the power of Google on your desktop. It's hard to believe this is only an alpha release. I can hardly wait for beta.

Check it out. Read everything. Then download it and put ZOè to work for you.
