Google had this coop but now they have integrated it with Adsense but there is one bug which I have noticed. When you submit the search the results page is not pre-populated with the search term now but it used to when it ws not with Adsense.

I found it really easy to get into using Co-Op. I set up http://www.boatr.org.uk in a matter of hours to search 200+ boating websites.

I’ve started using it on a website where I need to search across two domains, a phpBB discussion forum and a WordPress blog and didn’t want several different search boxes.

It’s a really useful tool. Simple to use. Simple to incorporate in a website.

This is a great feature. Does it generate income for the webmaster?

Fantastic product. My head exploded as well But Google Co-op doesn’t support national characters, and for a Norwegian developer like myself, Google Go-op instantly deteriorates from excellent to virtually useless.

When Google first launched Co-Op I thought it was pretty raw. Having to write one’s own XML by hand wasn’t my idea of great stuff for the masses. But I recently went back and saw that they had made the interface much more user friendly. They are still missing a large number of features I’d like to see, but I’ve been working on putting a large directory of mine (around 1600 links) onto it and it seems to be working pretty well thus far. You can see a rough sketchup of it at http://www.civilwarsearch.com if you want (I’m using DotNetNuke for the page and having some difficulties with the way it wants to render, so its a little choppy).

Hi,

Is this true that using Google Co-op pushes your results to Google’s supplemental index?

I had launched my website on 19 Dec 2006. It performed well on Google, rather I would say the performance was increasing day by day. I needed the site search software, I came across Google C-op, I tested it and then after repetitive successful testing I incorporated it on my website. It worked fine for 4-5 days and just went off the 6th day. Only the home URL was displayed. After much research I discovered that with in a month all my site’s URL have been pushed to Google’s supplemental index. I need to depend much on Off-line adverts and should forget about Google’s main index listing.

I found out from more resources that this happens when you use Google Co-op.

Any suggestion would help. The URL is http://www.gurgaonshoppingmalls.com

thank.

google coop is superb. It will be the dominant search method in the future.

I created a few of my own, and it works fine.
There’s also a Directory for coop engines at http://www.coopdir.com
