Thomas Bishop over at scalethemind.com has spun up a specialized virtualization search tool at thevirtualsearch.com. This is created using a Google custom search engine, and he’s done a good job of covering the entire virtualization landscape. In the tool, you specify a list of sites, and Google will then run a search for you limited to that list. I’m not sure what’s on thevirtualsearch’s list of sites is, but it seems to cover the gamut of virtualization technologies and it seems to find what you want. You can further slice and dice into Blogs, Communities, Social Bookmarks, Tech Docs/White Papers, and Vendors.
I was thinking about setting up a Google custom search engine myself, but now I don’t need to. Thank you Thomas!
He’s also set up a browser search plugin for Firefox or IE7, a widget for your iGoogle page, and a widget for your blog or website. Here’s the blog widget — give it a spin!
