I experimented with a local search page, on my server
rather than on my hard drive. It had a search box
for the Mamma metasearcher and a directory front-end to
EZ-Connect. It's orphaned now, but the sad remnants may be
seen at http://www.teleport.com/~lensman/yarp.htm

My home page consists of three links to my own sites and
three to other favorites, gussied up with some graphics and
formatting. That's all! Probably less a purist statement
than just my lame attempt at minimalist cool, though.

If you like Rankdex's laser pinpointing of just a page or
three, I recommend a look at google.stanford.edu which uses
a similar but expanded quality algorithm and a much larger
index.
