Gigablast Unveils Custom Topic Search Tool

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Dec. 20, 2004 -- Gigablast Inc, an internet search engine corporation, unveiled its "Custom Topic Search" (CTS) tool. The new tool offers webmasters the ability to tailor their website's search to a custom topic. The topic may be defined by a list of hundreds of arbitrary websites. These websites are entered into the search tool by the webmaster and are often related to an area of interest. Gigablast searches all pages of the websites in the list. Webmasters may deploy the new tool onto their websites immediately, free of charge.

Interesting service. I think Gigablast may have something here. I hope he has filed for a patent.

"Interesting service"

It appears to be similar to the paid local search that google offers except it's free.

I looked at it briefly and not sure if the webmaster is required to insert the html on every page or just some?
