Hey Guys,

I just created an abandonware search engine using Google's Custom Search Creator. Please try it out and let me know what you think.

Or, even easier:

http://shurl.org/pcabandonware

Works great for me, and it shows abandonia at the top of the results always, even above HotU.

Abi, you're now a contributor. Enjoy

Also I've created a short url to it so it will be easier to remember: http://shurl.org/pcabandonware

Heh. It's great, but it wasn't planned. If you search for abandonware on Google, you'll see that Abandonia appears on the 1st page while Underdogs only on the 3rd. This means that Abandonia's page rank is much higher and is the reason why it's first in the list.

Well there is a way. Just use bookmark keywords. So just create a bookmark with the following url:

http://www.google.com/custom?cx=010356002036525877607%3Armin8mhjnh8&q=%s&sa=Search&cof=CX%3APC%2520Abandonware%3BFORID%3A0&hl=en&client=google-coop

and give it a keyword, eg: abandonware. This is done in the properties of the bookmark (go to Organise Bookmarks for that)

Once that is done you can search just by typing "abandonware ultima 6" to search for ultima 6.
