Default RV specific search engine

Hi there:

I'm in the process of moving the RV Builder's Hotline over to the Expercraft server, and today I started playing with the Google custom search engine.

I've set up a RV-specific Google search
here
(
http://rvhotline.expercraft.com/articles/search.html ), that currently searches the Hotline archives, VAF, VAF forums, Matronics,myrv10.com, rvproject.com, Rivetbangers and a few others.

Still some bugs to work out, but I'd like to add other sites, and the page allows for collaborators to add their sites and help build it (have to have a Google account, I think). And the code is also provided there if folks want to use it on their own sites.

If you'd like to collaborate, go here:

I think this could be a good and useful tool to continue aggregating RV information across the far-flung universe.

There's still some bugs to be worked out and I haven't really started on the annotations yet, but I do see this as a way to quickly find RV-related information across some of the best RV Web sites out there.

Bob, I hope you don't mind but I cross posted that for you on Rivetbangers.
