Someone who is well minded? :wink:
Well to be frank, I don't know and the wellminded site doesn't give a clue.
But it's a nice link.

If you're referring to www.wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html, www.whois.net will tell you most of what you need.

I believe pizzasgood came up with the browser plugin.

@beem
I half expected that it may be you, as you are such a strong proponent of the tool. At anyrate I used to whois information to send an e-mail requesting that the Puppy WiFi assistant also be searched with this tool. That was the reason for my curiosity.

I stumbled upon the link in this forum and it being very useful did put it in my sig and I reference it a lot.
Hope you have success with the wellminded people.

Hi Jason, meagain :)

Are you trying to get it to search your wifi database?

if you can't get the well-minded google to search it, maybe this one

http://www.google.com/linux

though you'll have to give it the database domain/address, I would have thought

maybe its the googlebot that's really needed

Yes in deed,
I had just checked my e-mail to find that not only is Peppy the person to thank for Puppy Google Search, but that he had also added The Puppy WiFi Assistant to the pages searched by the now revered tool.
Thanks a mint,

Hi peppyy. Yes, thanks for that service - very useful. My safepup releases use that search plugin (in Firefox).

Last time (year?) you've started a cross-country journey with Puppy. How's the trip?

Oh yes, the trip hehe.

That was supposed to happen the first time several years ago, it finally happened in reverse just about a year ago. I did not blog it however, instead I uploaded photos from the adventures at night from our campsites.

One of my prerequisites was wireless at the campground, the other was a hot shower. I drove across the counter with my daughter and her kitten moving them back to VT from California. It was an amazing experience for sure.

You can see some of the photos on http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t187 ... alkerwolf/

Arches, cali, southern cali, Colorado etc. are from the trip, just ignore all my strange and wonderful eccentricities. It was a most enjoyable trip. Once we hit Kansas though we kept driving till we got to West Virginia.

Puppy, (I believe 2.01 on a 900mhz IBM T22) performed admirably with an Orinoco gold card and a 4dbi mobile antenna.

The one in my signature lol.

No Problem, did a bit more tweaking on that one.
Out of curiosity I looked at the popularity of just the direct url, not including the searches from my own page.

I haven't put a tracker on my web page for hits.
Let me know what you think of the new one and thanks again, sire you don't want to be a part of it ;)

@Peppy
I get pretty similar results from the custom google search that I made up at the the web desktop (bottom right hand corner - drop down to PuppyForum)... Let me know what you think
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].
