I suppose that indeed you would be sending, not stealing, traffic to them with such a tool.

PS. I was wrong. I first saw snitch.name back when Yorgos posted about it. Actually, it’s already in my search bar, as a search plugin.

First of all thanks for the kind words

Although some of the features you mention could be a bit hard to develop, it is technically possible to do a newspaper meta-search service using the snitch.name paradigm. I’m not sure though how the newspapers would feel about that and especially their oversized legal departments

BTW you can also use snitch.name from the Firefox sidebar (http://snitch.name/plugin.html) or using the Facebook app (http://apps.facebook.com/snitchdotname).

I’m dreaming of something similar for Greek newspapers’ search engines. A page where one enters his keywords and the query is passed over to all online greek papers. Even better if it could support each one’s syntax (different wild chars, boolean operators, etc.), and advances search options (chronological period, etc.)

I am using Firefox Search Sidebar to achieve as much as possible of this, but it’s an abandoned project, and it hardly works in Firefox 3.x…

Nice work! Well done, once more.
