Google Saffron - Theravada Search Engine

I used to use this search engine... http://s.billard.free.fr/dhamma/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

but now... :ugeek: .......... (continued next post)

Greetings,

After seeing that the above search engine has not been updated since 2006, I've decided to start my own, modelled upon the one above, using its search entries ( http://s.billard.free.fr/dhamma/dhammas ... isting.txt ) as the starting point...

Google Saffron
http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=00545 ... cbjbznmwso

Please post here any suggestions for sites you would like me to include in Google Saffron. Please mention only sites that are exclusively, or nearly exclusively Theravadin because if they're multi-sectarian (e.g. Buddhanet) then Google Saffron will no longer achieve its intended function of filtering out non-Theravadin references.

Metta,
Retro. :)

The budsas main site has not been updated since 2004 and I cannot reach it anyway. How about this mirror http://www.buddhanet.net/budsas/ebud/ebidx.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Also this may have some original material - http://www.empty-universe.com/emptyuniverse/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Not well arranged but - http://www.tipitaka.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Good and evil have no fixed form. It's as easy to turn from doing bad to doing good as it is to flip over the hand from the back to the palm. It's simply up to us to do it. Master Hsuan Hua.

So is that what we are calling this collection? Google Saffron?

Me thinks we need a better name. Maybe that just me though. :tongue:

That's what it says when you click here:

I'm open to renaming it... to give some context, Google Saffron is a slightly cheeky reference to Google Chrome, the Google-made web browser.
