Help Request: New Custom Search Engine

A little background for those who don't know I developed and have managed a custom search engine for Veeam named resources for (almost) 5 years. With the success of this one hitting over 200k unique searches I want to and expand and test a new search engine that pulls in content from third-party content creators outside the Veeam domain. I struggled if I should put this content directly into the original search engine or to keep it separate and I have decided to keep it separate for now... with the possibility of adding it into the main search depending how it does later. 

Please read All

What I need from you: If you would like your blog or you would like to promote someone's blog who has good Veeam content please comment that URL. I am looking for additional things that might help define good tags. Content can be anything from cross langue support, best practice, release in information, troubleshooting, and anything else Veeam related. Not limited to the Veeam 100 managed content.

Not just a Veeam Blog?: That’s okay the stretch goal of this engine is to create more common sub categories like VMware, Hyper V, Microsoft, Containers, Networking, ETC. This is why I ask for tags on the URLs posted. This will help determine some similarities that might make for a good wider categories. 

Why participate: When widely promoted my search engines are adopted on mass and make it easier for people to fine the Veeam and technical content they need. That being said, these are also used by support, partners, and customers which help drive traffic if you are looking for a boost on your site. :)

 

In operation since July 26, 2018 Veeam specific search engine:

Awesome idea @Rin 😁

 

I’ll shamelessly throw my blog into the ring here: https://micoolpaul.com

It collects a lot of lessons from the field and experiences, and as I’m a data protection consultant that’s also the Veeam SME, that means a lot of it is directly Veeam content!

 

Some stuff isn’t however, my blog blends between Veeam, VMware, Microsoft 365, and Microsoft Azure. Does this help answer the “tags” comment you made earlier? 🙂

Here is mine but I need to revisit it and make it look nicer https://geoffburkeblog.com/ so hopefully knowing that it is in a search engine will push me to redo it.

 

cheers

I like the layout of the Google Search Control Panel. Did implement this on my blog yesterday using the two-column format. But the search included links from other blogs. I had to discontinue it as I want the search to happen only within my blog :-)
