Few services are emerging as a solution to few problems:

  • Organizations ban some search engines, or access is very limited

  • We often forget what query result was, or sometimes just links are stored – result links

Limited access, or no direct access to search is the primary reason behind evolution of these services those essentially function as under:

  • Compose simple email with search parameters as subject line, or similar format as per service website. Most do not require any body message.

    Send the email to specific email address.

  • Get the search results as consolidated email directly in inbox! Yes, this is smart auto responder service.

This is very simple yet useful service, and may emerge as web services for company’s intranet search engines to be indirectly connected to giant search engines.

Here are two such services:

  1. SnapAsk

  2. Rediff WebinMail

Flex SDK is Free & Open Source but Flex Builder is neither free nor open source.

I googled if there is any way to use Flex SDK with Eclipse (because Flex Builder is built on Eclipse too) for development purpose.I found 2 useful results; Of course I haven’t tried yet.
