Web Analytics vertical search engine using Google co-op

First of all - many thanks to MK from NYUB for pointing this out to me - appreciate it!

Google recently launched 'co-op', a cooperative vertical search engine that is uniquely customised according to specifications set by an administrator. These specifications allow a user to drill down to specific websites, terms, opml files, file types or any of the advanced operators provided by Google.

So, as soon as I heard about this I realised that it would be a great idea to create a vertical search engine for web analytics - by filtering on the usual suspects of analytics resources. Because Google provides source code, it allows site owners to deploy the vertical search engine on their own site.

I have deployed the engine within this site at the URL: www.slicecast.com/search

It will be interesting to see how the engine improves as I continue to add more web analytics sites to the roster.

Why not try a search to see how it feels:
