I knew there has to be something very big behind Google's Search Engine. And now it is offically confirmed thanks to Dutch design studio Overburen.

I just read about Yuil on Google Blogscoped. The idea for Yuil is brilliant. Sam Pullara of Java Rants hacked together this new search service using Yahoo! Search BOSS (Build your Own Search Service) to get at actually useful search results. The service runs on Google App Engine and the interface looks like that of the alleged Google killer cuil. In contrast to the latter you can find what you are looking for with Yuil.

Sometime ago I read that it would save quite a lot of energy if Google was using black as the background color of it's search page instead of white. Today I stumbled upon blackgoogle.com. I was looking for an alternative to Google anyway, so I may start with this one.

As an ecologically conscious person I somehow have a better feeling though still using Google. Here are some numbers I found on the ecoIron Blog that legitimate using Black Google as long as there is no better search engine:

Looking at the logs of a Drupal site I just noticed that Yahoo lists XML Sitemaps in SERPs. On that site the XML Sitemap Drupal module is installed, which automatically generates an XML Sitemap from your content and if you wish also includes the category pages. There are some other quite useful configuration options the module offers and it can be set to write log messages in Drupal's watchdog table.

Somehow nice how many configuration and customization options this hypothetical search engine offers. The drawback is that you don't click on the links it points to because it's too much fun too play with it.
