OmniSeedSearch.com is a new search engine built
just for gardeners which offers two main search
options: the ability to search 170
online seed catalogs, and the option to search
500 informative gardening
websites for advice, tips and how to information.
OmniSeedSearch.com is a subject specific search,
also called a vertical search engine, that limits
the sites it indexes to only relevant, non-spam
websites. Unlike general search engines, vertical
search engines can "weed out" the bad
websites from the good, since the bad are never
included in the search index.
Both search options included a wide range of websites.
The seed search option offers results from online
seed sellers for fruits, flowers, herbs, vegetables,
trees, grass, cacti and more. The garden knowledge
search option included approximatley 200 flower
and plant websites, 200 broad and subject specific
vegetable websites, over 50 university extension
websites, and 50 fruit, and nut websites.
OmniSeedSearch.com was developed by the founder
of OmniMedicalSearch.com, a medical search engine
that receives approximately 400,000 unique visitors
a month, who is also an amateur vegetable gardening
enthusiast.
"Besides seeing a need for a search engine
specific to gardeners, I wanted to combine my hobby
with my occupation of vertical search and web development,"
Founder Jason Morrow said. "There's a lot of
great gardening information online, but I saw that
improvements could be made in how people find that
information."
OmniSeedSearch.com was built with the assistance
of the Google Custom Search facility. Future developments
for OmniSeedSearch.com will include a link directory
to all 670 websites indexed, as well as a search
option for related images.
Gardening webmasters of all types are encouraged
to submit their website to OmniSeedSearch.com for
inclusion in their index. Webmasters must first
check to see if their website is not already listed
by typing their web address, mywebsite.com, into
either one of the search options.
