**Updated** Bitcoin Search Engine: moving into final release stage.

[r3wt]

Proof Of concept:

http://coinbit.pw/search/search.php

This project is nearing completion and moving into the final development stage.

I run many websites(despite being broke as a joke, literally $1.23 to my name.) so i have a lot of projects to balance.

A summary of whats left to do on this project

need funding for:
virtual private server hosting
private ip address
domain name
ssl certificate

My other projects that also need funding:

altcoin charity(dead at the moment)
altcoin exchange and auction site(dead at the moment)
cryptocurrency better business bureau(dead)

this needs a sticky

I would definitely use a bitcoin search engine.  In particular, it would be nice to be able to restrict a search for online vendors that accept bitcoin.

[Vikerus]

This is a very cool idea.

I would totally implement it into my university site.

[jesse11]

It would be great! I could use it to find places to buy things and also check if the place is good or bad. Yes Build it

Thats a great idea.

I need somebody to make some text lists. if someone will do this i could have the site up in a matter of days:

1. list of vendors
2. list of faucets, gambling sites, and others
3. list of altcoin websites

I could get on that. Should be easy enough. The list of free bitcoin sites here on this forum will help a lot.

I like these ideas as well! A little directory would be cool too. Instead of having to go to different sites to get lists and then compare them to each other, have a single database listing everything.

Very good ideas here!

Sounds like a very good idea, best of luck to you!

What I would recommend is after compiling the list of sites is to email them all asking if they would be interested in advertising on the search engine.  Basically an attempt to follow the Google search engine model for advertisements.  That way the engine can be self sustaining and grow to accomodate the large influx of new businesses using bitcoin.  I would be happy to help by emailing the businesses and asking for their support.

I like the idea, but I probably wouldn't, actually. It's not too hard to filter out the non-bitcoin related results from a google or ddg search.

[RodeoX]

I'd hit that...   button.

[maltize]

I can offer help - Ruby on Rails development
and provide a free hosting for that

[tabbek]

Curious to see how you execute this.  the easier it is to access information on bitcoin and how/where to use, the better IMO.

[zahra4576]

I'm interested to use this.

[The Bitcoin Catalog]

Definitely interested!

[iram1068]

I voted yes.

[BitMI]

You mean a much better alternative to bitcoinwatch.com? Yes! I would like to use some more sophisticated "Bitcoin dashboard". Possibility to search in gathered data isn't bad either.

[Malawi]

I voted "possibly" as it would depend on how it's implemented etc.

Interested, but not too far from indifferent.
