IDEA: Search engine query repository and bookmarking service
Aug 30
Overview
Create a bookmarking system where the user no longer bookmarks a single website but instead is bookmarking a highly perfected (over time in the system) search engine query. What this does is prevent the annoying ‘page not found’ you get when you recall a bookmark. Instead you are always presented with the best possible websites for your topic.
The system would allow for, and encourage, tweaking queries for even better results. This allows your bookmarked queries to become better through the community using the site.
A community member would be able to request a query update where the original query creator would have the option of appending the change or branching the query into a related branch query. Related branch queries are a mechanism to see what other queries had be spawned from your original, perfected query.
Features
- Easily store and recall search queries in all major browsers
- With your account you can make a query public or private
- Public queries can be searched, viewed and modified by other users
- Modified queries requests are sent to you so you can chose to update your query with a better, advanced query
- Queries can be branched, or spawned, from an existing query. All query branches can be followed to see how a query has developed over time
- Complete user account management
- IE and Firefox toolbars to easily ‘capture’ queries
- Queries could attempt to tweak themselves by the user providing a target webpage. The system would then try and create the best possible query that brings the webpage, and like results, into the top spots in the designated search engine.
- Browser toolbar could have a Query Suggestion button where the system reads the page and attempts to create a query based on the pages content and the system knowledge of advanced query creation.
Imagine how many pages will be indexed in 5 or 10 years and as pages indexed increase it would make sense that bookmarked pages would increase also. By bookmarking a query you greatly reduce your bookmarks since a single query, on a topic, can replace large groups of page bookmarks.
Obviously a lot needs to be worked out but this is the basis for the website. First on block is a big thing and so far nobody else is doing this. I think this is a great idea and I just don’t have the time to implement so I thought I would release the idea and see what happens.
Discussion going on now at DonationCoder about this idea
