Google Site Links for “Joe Dolson”

This is just cool:

Joe Dolson Sitelinks

“Sitelinks” are additional links Google generates from the contents of a site in order to help users navigate your site — - they provide these links in their search results for selected terms. Most sites don’t have site links, so I’m finding it pretty cool to notice them for myself!

If you can’t see the image, the current Sitelinks for this site are:

On the whole, I’m pretty pleased with the selection chosen here. They’ve pretty well pinned down the key areas of the site: web design, web accessibility, search marketing, and my writing on these topics. Everything is reasonably represented. Perhaps, in my forthcoming site redesign (don’t keep a look out; it’s not going to be that soon,) I’ll make a point to better promote these specific areas of the site.

PHP/MySQL Boolean Search Script Updated

Just a quick announcement that I’ve updated my search script for Boolean matching in MySQL. The latest version is available for download on the PHP/MYSQL Search Engine script page.

The changes to this version include:

  • Fixed: various minor bugs
  • Fixed: multipage results not available with quoted strings
  • Fixed: full-text query problem
  • Fixed: some compatibility issues with different PHP/MySQL configurations.
  • Added: sortable results
  • Added: configurable field label names
  • Added: sample results page
  • Added: test mode for troubleshooting.

It’s not a massive update; but the script should be easier to use and more reliable.
