Creating an RV specific search engine via Google
RV Builder's Hotline exists to help aggregate information that is spread throughout hundreds of Web sites across the Internet. This Google search engine is part of that effort. It will search on specific RV-related sites for information. Currently, this includes sites such as the RV Builder's Hotline, Van's Air Force, Matronics, RVproject.com, Smitty's RV, Rivetbangers and myrv10.com. Currently, I'm having a hard time getting the Matronics forums to show up in the results, but I'm working on it.
If you would like your RV-related Web site included in the search, please drop me an e-mail, or -- better yet -- go here. I'm also interested in having volunteers help. You do this by marking (with Google marker) interesting sites, and categorizing them -- forums, builder sites, news site, article.
If you would like to include this search box on your Web site, just copy the code below. Or just add a link to the search home page on Google at. To see an example, see Smitty's RV9A Web site.
If anyone has any graphical ability, we could use a 200 x 200 RV search engine logo. Currently there's a Hotline logo on the search results page.
This is very much a work in progress so be patient and, definitely, add suggestions. Every day I'm adding more sites and annotations.
To add the search box to your Web site, copy and paste the code below.
