Introducing CNCCookbook’s Machinist’s Search

Have you noticed there is more and more spam showing up every day in Google’s search results? When I’m researching topics for CNCCookbook, I wind up going through at least 10 and more often 20 pages of search results before I’m sure I’ve got all the good dope. Along the way to creating a thousand pages or so of content here, I noticed many of the same sites would crop up again and again in my search results. They were like old friends, because I knew they had reliable information.

So I gravitated to those search results. It reached a point where it was often more important to look at which site the result led to than the little blurb Google gives about what you’ll find there. Like you, I don’t have time to waste, so I created a Google Custom Search Engine especially for machinists. You can access it via the link to the left or here.

What’s a Custom Search Engine? It’s a tool that Google provides that lets you emphasizes trusted sites over the normal Google search results. You still get the normal results too, it’s just that results with a good match from the trusted sites are ranked higher. Google Custom Search has been a secret weapon for a lot of professional journalists who have to get smart on their beat in a hurry and stay smart. See if it CNCCookbook’s Machinist’s Search won’t be a secret weapon to help you be smart about machining.
