Dogpile SearchSpy

Have lots of fun finding out what people is searching right now on the Web:

You'll be surprised on how many weird things people look for.

Also, it's a good tool for those looking to sell products: see what keywords people use and "buy" them in Google.

Get / set generator

I know some IDEs for Java already include this feature, but I was looking something similar for PHP and this is what I found:

This generator works for any language. It basically gets the variable names (separated by comma) and generates the get and set method for each one.

Helps to save a lot of time!

Graphic search engines

I was sad when I found out that grokker went out of business =( (http://blog.ecorrado.us/2009/09/01/grokker-gone/). It was an innovative way to present search results.

However, I did a search online and found that there are other graphical search engines available now. Here is a list of the ones I found that I like. They present the results in a graphical way. Some of them group the results by topic, date, etc.

Search Cube: http://search-cube.com/
Quintura: http://www.quintura.com/

I think these sites are good for education purposes.

It will clean your code ;)

Sphider

Sphider is an open source search engine made in PHP:

http://www.sphider.eu/

It's easy to download and install and works with the same logic as Google: page ranking.

It helped me to understand better how Google ranks the pages and how their database looks like (of course, Google has more sophisticated techniques in their search engine that they won't reveal, but the base has been published and has been used to develop new engines like Sphider).

I recommend you to give it a try if you're involved in Web Development.
