I noticed FoxNews' (Search) feature in the past couple days. Seems a better idea that Yahoo's (news-website) bother. I've implemented a version here, for Bad Guy names and less-common organizations, but I haven't worked out exactly how I want it to display. Fox uses the title and the first sentence of the article. I've just gone with a clone of the search page, giving the entire article for now. I've also thought about displaying just the headlines of the articles, linked to the articles themselves, or the headline and the first 25 words or so. Just the headline is least server-intensive. Headline-whole article is actually less server-intensive than displaying only part of the article, but if you link to something that's got too many occurrences ("Mohammad" or "Qaeda" for instance) it'll return too much data.
Any preferences? Once it's worked out, I'll add it into GuestPoster, if you guys want it. |
