As a favour to someone who's emailed me, i need as many folks as possible to please go and test out this new search engine site: www.nerdbyte.com

It's a "photoshop tutorials" specific search. So just enter the type of tutorial you're looking for, and hit SEARCH. Like 'glass', or 'metal', or 'rust', or 'plugins', etc...

Try the "Advanved" search too.

Then post back here your thoughts, and how you think it worked for you.

I'll email the person back and see if i can get them to come visit us to talk more about it. I've tried it and i think it works great. A lot of links in the database so far.

Thanks guys! [righton]

B7 Cool! And what a *fab* idea!!!! Yes, it worked just fine for me, Mark.

I've been a programmer for many years, so you could say that I have an eye for errors.

He can probably remove the word Beta after I'm done [bustagut]

Just give me some time

As far as I know, Kai's PowerTools 5 was and is still one of the best known plugins.
I tried KPT5, KPT 5, Kai's Powertools 5, Kais Power Tools 5,... no match.

I tried Fractal Explorer, and got a link to the texture Explorer from KPT3.

Still some work to do...

Gave it pretty good try Mark and most things worked quite well - I could not get a result for Gold Text and I tried to search using the name eyecandy and came up blank. But for the most part it worked well.

Hi everyone. Thanks for testing it out for me. A few thing:

-I am a girl
-the search results now returns anything photoshop related including tutorials
-it uses htdig and I leanred how to tweak the script where it will index other sites in specific directories
-it indexes certain to prevent non-photohsop content from showing and the provent the engine from spidering things such as forums (I made the mistake of this and it was stuck on one site for 6 hours! and made htdig error to where it showed no index for anything)
-Gaussian, what type of errors are you talking about?

Thanks a bunch for the feedback you guys. It really helps.

I'm a fan of Gurus Network. In their tutorial section, they use a java drop-down menu.

So I went to this search engine and typed in "displace".

I ended up with almost every GN tutorial listed because of the drop-down menu. I'm not sure, but I imagine that's not good.
