This last week I’ve looking through a lot of local government sites and typically the local search facility sucks. I know you can do an advanced google search and limit the search to a single domain but its a little fiddly, and I often forget.
So what a plesant surprise it was to find lightning fast google search on one of the council sites Derbyshire Council There’s a google search box right on the home page. The results appear in the familiar google format but with orange borders.
Wow! google is getting everywhere, replacing local server functionality isn’t a bad thing, its often the one area that web sites forget; and users have got used to expecting the speed, accuracy and relevance of Google.- check out the Google marketing explanation its the “Free Web Search with Site Search”
