Very very cool. This is something that has nothing to do with SEO, but I'm excited about it. :) Maybe because it has nothing to do with SEO. ;)

At least this one should be free of adwords! heh heh.

For some time, Google has had the Pubmed database spidered and included in search results - currently 4.5 million URLs from the National Library of Medicine among the URLs here [google.com]. Coming with the advent of the ability of the Googlebot to crawl dynamic URLs, this has had a noticeable effect on academic papers turning up in niche scientific Google searches.

Interesting stuff!

If all goes as planned, the search feature could appear on Google in a few months,..

I wonder how one can search for it within Google? A DSpace icon in the >>more overview?

There is also a good database for physicists which already has been spidered by Google: arxiv.org (formely x xx.lanl.gov).

By the way this web page is (in principle) unchanged for more than ten years.
