Feedster problems.

February 25, 2004 at 9:19 am · Filed under Linkage

Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but for some reason a Feedster search for “constitution” returns zero results and suggests that I’m looking for “quinstreet”. Did another useful tool just die?

    Huh - I was searching by relevance, not by date. The original search I linked to still doesn’t show anything. I don’t get it.

    Goods: Feedster is a search engine for RDF/RSS/Atom feeds. It’s good for searching out blogs on specific subjects.

    That was searching by relevance.

    Hi there,

    There doesn’t seem to be a problem with this search at all. Here’s a hyperlink:

    http://www.feedster.com/search.php?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=constitution&btnG=Search&sort=date

    Hm… Now that I look at this more closely, I’m seeing an issue with sorting by relevance. More on this tomorrow.

    Thanks for taking a look Scott. I’ve come to the same conclusion as well regarding the relevance search.
