Hello,
As a del.icio.us user and a Google CSE animator (about french law) I am interested in the service you mention in your recent post. But the provided URL (http://idlivada.vpsland.com:8000/login.html) does not seem to work.
Would please tell me how to access it, if it is still possible. your work seems promising..
Greetings,
Olivier

Hi Olivier – That was probably my fault (I was messing around with the server). It should be working now.

I am in need of a good programmer to implement Google CSE on the website search (+maps API, and more).
I have found your site thru google CSE example.
Thank you to get back to asap, if you can help that would be terrific or maybe you know other people that did or do Google CSE?

Hi Vik,
Your CSE is something that I would like to have. right now all my results are going to google hosted web page. How did you get your search results to fit the theme of your website. Also let me know how you did your filters that way.
You can take a look at my CSE at big5hire.com
Please help me in giving suggestions to have the search results like the way your CSE returns.
