Irish Search Engine Update
For the past few days, the WhoisIreland.com spiders have been busy updating the index of Irish websites. The number of .ie websites has grown considerably and there are approximately 31,000 .ie sites in this update and slightly more Irish .com/net/org/biz/info websites. The Irish section of the Dmoz directory will also be included. This will result in an index of approximately 75,000 Irish websites making it the biggest index of Irish websites in the world. This new index will have a dynamic submission facility that will allow Irish sites not included in the index to be spidered within minutes of being submitted. The beta version of this new index will be available next week.
The beta test of the Irishblogosphere search engine will follow. The three fold strategy of detection, submission and monitoring will form the basis for this search engine and it will be separate from the main WhoisIreland.com search engine. As a result it will be faster and combined with a dynamically updated directory of Irish related blogs. It should make it easier to distill the voices of Irish blogs from the cacophony of the web’s blogosphere.
