SearchDotNet - Custom .Net Google Search (perfect as a IE7 custom search addition) from Dan Appleman

FrazzledDad - IE Search Provider for .NET Geeks

"I heard Dan Appleman on DotNetRocks talk about a great thing: Google custom search.  Dan’s an amazing brain and he’s worked out a killer resource for .NET geeks: SearchDotNet.com.

This site uses Google’s custom search functionality to limit search crawls to a specified list of sites.  In this case, SearchDotNet.com’s search list is a bunch of sites specifically chosen by Appleman because of their high-quality content.  It’s awfully cool to get a search source hand-picked by someone like Appleman.

Along those lines, one of Internet Explorer 7’s coolest features, IMO, is the ability to chose and load different search providers.  You can even create new providers — like using SearchDotNet.com.

While I've always held Dan in the highest regard (since I saw him present at an early VBITS), in just the past week I had an email interaction with him which increased it even further...

On seeing SearchDotNet.com was by Dan.. well I now have a new IE7 search provider... ;)
