As wellminded.com is no more I have created another one based on the original. The only difference being that the app search covers more Puppy sites than the original.

Why not bookmark http://wellminded.net63.net/ as your new Puppy Linux search engine.

[Update, Aug 2019]

After a somewhat lengthy hiatus from Puppy Linux I have updated the Puppy Linux Search and it includes the following websites in the search:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/
http://wikka.puppylinux.com/
https://412collection.neocities.org/
http://412collection.indogo.org (for older browsers)
http://dokupuppylinux.info
http://dotpups.de
http://smokey01.com/
http://puppylinux.com/

Bookmarked. Many thanks.

I like to wget the whole forum and grep it. LOL - Not really but I would have a better chance of finding things that way!

I think you can actually use Google and use puppy linux in the search box with anything else your searching for, like: Puppy Linux Wi-Fi

Hi there, is there a way to update this list? Half the pages are down

[Flash]

If you'll list each post that has a dead link, I'll remove them. You can find the URL of a specific post by hovering your cursor over the little rectangle to the left of the word "Posted" at the top left of the post in question. Right click, choose "Copy link location," then paste that URL.

Hi all,

Edit: With Wellminded often not working, I've begun to rely on the following which, IIRC, Geoffrey posted, but I can't seem to find it on this thread:

https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=015995643981050743583%3Aabvzbibgzxo&q=#gsc.tab=0

also,

I thought this idea by rufwoof was worth memorializing: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=968574#968574

"If you use google search, adding site:murga-linux.com to the end of your search string helps refine the search. That's what I used and it showed that link/post as one of the first few in the search results list

Code:

+william +sd +card +boot site:murga-linux.com

"
Obviously, replace "+william +sd +card +boot" with your own search terms.

Edit 7/27/19: May have been mentioned before, but someone recalled it recently and as this is currently the last post on this thread --and logically the first place to look-- http://puppylinux.us/psearch.html can still be considered a great tool, mostly functional. Using it, you can specify one of several repositories. Obviously, if the repository no longer exists, you can't search it. But if it does, such as Smokey's, you can.

Okay, I updated the Wellminded link and removed the puppylinux.org link from the first post. I hope everybody's happy now.

I like this one.
http://puppylinux.us/psearch.html

I really use the web area drop down selection.
Select the Puppy forum.
If you want to do the same search, on the web in general. Select WWW.
Plus it has direct links to most of the other main Puppy Linux sites.

Have to endorse Mikeslr's recommendation about the first link in his post, the Google 'Custom' search. Works for me every time to find stuff on the Forum.

I'll be trying out tuxtoo's new Puppy Search for the next couple of weeks.....see how I get on with it.
