Google does it again! Biblical Studies Search ::

Thank you JPS, I can usually resist Beta software (I even held off Firefox till the official release;) but not this time! Google have given us something I've wanted for years, the ability to create "custom search engines" that search a selected subset of sites. JPS had put together a small list of sites to search, and I have volunteered to help enlarge his list. But I could not wait to try the facility, and so have also set up Biblical Studies Search which currently searches:
PS Currently this searches over 60 sites! (But I started experimenting with this list.)

• www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/wsrp/ West Semitic Research Project
• research.yale.edu:8084/divdl/eikon/ Eikon imagebase at Yale
• www.kchanson.com Keith Hanson's pages
• ntgateway.com Mark's NT Gateway
• bible.gen.nz my Amos commentary
• itanakh.org Chris's iTanakh
• sbl-site.org SBL's site
• bookreviews.org RBL
  
• web.infoave.net/~jwest/ Jim's list
• www.etana.org/abzu/ ABZU

I'll be adding others, but I'd be delighted for you to help enlarge the list, either make suggestions to this post by "comments" or go to the Google "Homepage" for Biblical Studies Search and "volunteer" to join me in making the list.

Already this is awesome, I just wish one could set it so that it searched all the pages directly listed on the NT Gateway and iTanakh rather than having to add them one by one... Hey Google, there's my first suggestion for improving the service.
