hmmm…so I just did a search for “spider” using the Google search widget and it pulled up mikey’s photo that Raj posted a while back…but when I did the same search with the Technorati widget, it didn’t return anything :-(

okay, I just popped in the technorati search widget as well. not sure which i like best yet. (the technorati page is certainly prettier, but i do like that google has a revenue sharing plan).

Our comment captcha is broken, so Kevin Marks IMed me this comment:

May and the gang, do have a look at the Technorati searchlet:

http://technorati.com/developers/help/searchlet.html

It has the same ‘embed in sidebar’ thing going, but it actually understands what a blog post is so it doesn’t give loads of duplicates like Google.

Also, have a look at the Technorati info page for Tikirobot:

I wasn’t sure how to turn on the WP search function, but I think the Google widget may be better because it’s faster. Plus they’ll give us a cut of any adsense click-throughs generated by a search.

Any reason we don’t expose the WP search function in the sidebar?
