http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2006/10/new-google-search-func tion/ 24 Oct 2006 New Google search function It can be easy to find climate science information on the web, but that information ranges from the excellent to the atrocious - and it can often be hard to tell them apart without some prior expertise. Wouldn't it be great if someone could vet the information beforehand so that you had some confidence that it wasn't completely bogus? Well, you need wait no longer! Some of you may have already noticed that we have updated our search facility to use a new service from Google Co-op which is being launched today. The idea is that the search is restricted to domains and pages that have passed some kind of quality control. RealClimate is one of the demo sites of the new technology and we have started off with a selection of sites (IPCC, goverment labs, research institutes etc. - as well as RealClimate itself of course!) that we know provide quality information about climate science. As we get used to this service, we will be adding sites and pages that we feel are up to the mark. Suggestions for sites that we might not yet have found or have overlooked, will of course be welcome.
