AJAX Search API Hackery
September 25, 2006
If you're interested in Blogger
template hacking
-via-javascript,
be sure
to check out Google's
AJAX Search API
. While its home on
Code
contains a bunch of interesting
sample apps
for learning and tinkering, Google Engineer Mark Lucovsky recently published an ajaxy, bloggy playground on BlogSpot:
http://ajaxsearch.blogspot.com/
Notable stuff:
the sidebar's "Google Search" field searches multiple indexes (
Web
and
BlogSearch
), as well as individual sites (in this case the
AJAX Search API blog
, the
Google blog
and
www.blogger.com
) - you can customize all of these things
the sidebar's "Video Search" field displays (and plays!) results inline
links in the main blog section can dynamically link directly into the sidebar's embedded Map and Video boxes (try clicking the 'Sakana' and 'Jimi Hendrix' links)
Mark's post on the API's blog has
further details
about the tweaks and integrations.
If you whip up something nifty on your Blogger blog using the
AJAX Search API
, post about it and link to
this post
, so we can see it in the
Backlinks
. Thanks!
Update:
Hoctro's Place has
applied the above to Blogger beta
- nice work!
Hoctro also has a
Blogger Beta Playground
, so be sure to check out some of his neat hacks.
Zizukabi
has an AJAX Search Widget in his sidebar
, though I don't read Korean so I'm not 100% sure about what he's saying. :)
Mark Lucovsky
posted a beta blog
with the same functionality.
Update #2:
Mark posted another AJAX Search API example,
the Video Bar
.
