Steve Drucker from Fig Leaf Software revealed a Flash-specific search engine called gotSWF on Flashcoders a few hours ago. It searches Livedocs (although I find the online Livedocs excruciatingly slow to use), Flash and Flex blogs, etc. Interesting!

• :-D Yay for the google API! Now if someone could just build that into a Dashboard widget or Apollo app I think my head might just explode.

• Kinda cool, but gotAPI.com does a much better job with Livedocs (once you add the Actionscript tab) and has that "ajaxian" flair of showing the matching items as you type. Plus it supports many more languages. However, gotSwf searches blogs too which is a nice touch. Either way they're both alot speedier than Livedocs themselves which is always a good thing :)

• If only you could filter out LiveDoc results, and just search Flash and Flex blogs. I agree so much with you about LiveDocs being so so slow. It gets the point where I will only as a last result go to LiveDocs. Sometime I run 2 or 3 extra yahoo searchs just not to use LiveDocs.

• Nice! I am about to add flash.noirgle.com/flex.noirgle.com to the line up over at my ajax search too! http://noirgle.com Any suggestions on what sites to search? I will add them tonight. Cheers, Dustin Senos
