The new SE, which can be found at www.briansbuzz.com, is powered by Atomz. My experience with Atomz is that it delivers decent results, although I've used it only on single sites with relatively consistent page structures. How it will fare when pulling results from multiple sites will be interesting. If one of the sites has good page structure (proper titles, metas, content), will it always appear ahead of similar, or even better, content on other sites? This is the dilemma that web search engines have to deal with that site-search engines like Atomz don't.
I tried to find the article on the Infoworld web site, but it didn't show up in the Google-powered search. :(
The critical standard ASP (haven't switched my site to ASP.NET yet) code is below. Name the web page netsearch.asp.
<%
If Not IsEmpty(Request("ddlWithin")) Then
Response.Redirect("http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=" _
& Server.URLEncode(Request("ddlWithin")) & "&as_q=" & Server.URLEncode(Request("txtSearch")) _
& "&btnG=Search+within+results")
Response.End()
End If
%>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form name="frmInput" id="frmInput" method="get" action="netsearch.asp">
Search within:
<select name="ddlWithin" id="ddlWithin">
<option value='"asp.net"'>ASP.NET</option>
<option value='"visual basic"'>Visual Basic</option>
<option value='"c#"'>C#</option>
</select>
<input type="text" id="txtSearch" name="txtSearch" size="50" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>

Maybe as an add on you can put in all the keywords from your google referrals into there (sorted by popularity maybe) :)....you might end up at the top for most of them but itll expose all the other sites/pages that were close to beating you.
//added, that is, if your site is all about .NET of course :)
