A new Jewish Blog search engine!

Introducing for the very first timeMacherSearch™! I got this email today:

Unlike other so-called “Jewish searches, MacherSearch was designed to actually crawl an ever-increasing number of Jewish, Jewish-related, and Israeli sites. Its not a meta-search of another search engines results, it'’s a true search engine. Using the Vivisimo Velocity engine, the latest in search engine technology, MacherSearch sorts through its proprietary listings of thousands of websites, all relevant to the Jewish community. As of this email over 22,000 sites including 8,000 on Machers.com are indexed. All the indexes and live search results are stored on our own servers, giving you one of the fast search results available on ANY search engine. In this way, Machers has opened a whole new window into the Jewish internet. Type your zip code into the search while on the MacherSearch tab selection and you'lluÂ’ll be amazed at what you get.



Searches can be targeted even more specifically the Jewish newshounds will appreciate our Machers Blogs search, where they can search the entire Jewish Blogoshere. And because the blogs indexes are updated several times a day, information remains more current and more newsworthy than Google searches on most of the same sites. Especially when local news breaks in the Jewish community, youÂ’re likely to find it on the Machers Blogs tab on MacherSearch first. The blog you wrote a few hours ago is on Machers right now.



What's more, MacherSearch is using the latest “clustering” technology from Vivisimo something even Google doesn'’t offer. Results are dynamically organized into categories, or clusters,” allowing users to focus on the most relevant results. Rather than having to get more specific with each search term, the user can enter fewer terms and get better results simply by choosing a category. You can now go back to those easy one word searches that worked back in 1995 when the web was smaller.

To go beyond the Jewish Web, MacherSearch offers full News and Web searches as well. MacherSearch is the one-stop search engine for the Jewish community.

Well what are you waiting for! Try it out.
