Killer Shrike Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Im playing around with a feature on Google to make a cooperative custom search engine. I defined a quick one for the HERO System. Could some folks pop over and see if they can enrich the site basis for the searches? Thanks!

Edsel Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Re: HERO System GOOGLE Co-op I reached it okay. Did two quick searches, one for "Werewolf" and one for "Slick." Everything seemed to work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats true of Google itself as well, which Im sure makes the people that have the actual domain feel pretty puny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Raven Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Re: HERO System GOOGLE Co-op When I do a search for my site: tlot3.net, I get nothing but referenced to threads on the hero boards. When I search for my alternate site, which as been around for much much longer, I get absolutely nothing at all. I'm at the top of the list, or near the top, on regular google search for "TLOT3" or "The Land of Ten Thousand Thoughts". A search for the Master List of Limitations also only returns the tread on the hero boards rather than an external site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know of domains with a lot of HERO content on them let me know and Ill add them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm still updating the site, but http://www.tlot3.net will have a ton of content relating to my Defenders Universe campaign setting. I'm still working on the site layout but will be plugging in content and publishing as soon as that's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content richness would be the main determinant. I went ahead and added sysabend and global guardians. I also changed the look and feel to be FRED-a-licious.

Particularly the Last Dominion Fantasy Hero setting stuff. My understanding was Eosin took down most of the "free" content when he started publishing. This is the only material Im familiar with that is currently pro bono: http://pencil-pushers.net/?page_id=11 Am I mistaken in this regard?

ghost-angel Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Re: HERO System GOOGLE Co-op Do you want sites that are Hero-Centric, or wouls sites that have a section with Hero Content be acceptable to add? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, this is just a filtered subset of Google -- so its main value lies in being able to filter out non-hero hits. The more "junk" that gets added in to the list, the less valuable the resource is as the returns wont be much different than what youd get from the mainstream Google search.

phookz Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Re: HERO System GOOGLE Co-op Hrm, I have to spread rep as well...

Blue Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Re: HERO System GOOGLE Co-op Nice idea I'll forgo offering my site, as it's just my own little twisted universe with out any usable content and some spoilers in the recaps (due to using HERO products for some adventures).
