Hi !


A feature of the Zope Documentation Portal is
the Subject and Topic Search, which will soon
be more complete and helpful when we have 
defined more Subjects and Topics on the ZDP
documents and all the Links.

A great new feature are the preset links
to search engines on the topic and subject
you navigated to !

You must try it to see how powerful this can
be !

An example:

There is no content on the ZDP site on Corba and
Scalability related to Zope, as you can see
here. At least no content that would be already
in Meta-tagged.:

http://zdp.zope.org/portals/administrators/scalability/corba

You will find the following as links to Search engines
with predefined Search terms:

Searching the ZDP for: 

Subject: Scalability 
Topic: Corba 

Catalog Search finished. 

Search again: 

Search on other sites:

eGroups 
Scalability and Corba , Scalability , Corba 

Google 
Scalability and Corba , Scalability , Corba 
Zope and Scalability and Corba , Zope and Scalability , Zope and Corba 
---------------------------------------

I wouldn't have expected that the Google search on
Zope and Scalability and Corba actually would find
this link to Slashdot with a discussion on just this:

Opinions ? :-)
