DEVELOPMENT
 
This site is being developed solely by Steve Burgin of Barlborough, Derbyshire, UK.

I'll spare you the STORY BEHIND THE SITE but it's there if you're interested.


Whilst some may think that the name of the web site is derivative of the mating call of a swiss cockerel... it is of course a combination of two of the big search engines... YAHOO!™ and GOOGLE™. The name reflects the sites function perfectly and whilst the logo may be a little naughty, a bloke in my local pub describes it as innovative (he also happens to be my best mate). Fingers crossed it's legal.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
 
First thanks must go to the magazines that provided me with so much guidance, .net, PCAnswers and WebDesigner were all essential reads. A mag called Practical Web Design was also great but I'm not sure if it's published any more.

Anyone wanting any free JavaScript resourses should visit the JAVASCRIPT SOURCE or JAVASCRIPT KIT. With a special thanks to David Coleman and Arash Akbari who submitted some super scripts.

WISH LIST
 
A few improvements I would love to add to the search tool, once I have found out how:

1. A button at the end of the Search Box, which when clicked places the "Search Box text" within quotes.

2. Allow each user to set their own default search engine for each section.

3. Allow each user to set their own default search section on the Quick Launch feature.

4. A tick box that lets each user choose to open their results in a new window or in the same window.

5. The Search Box gets the focus on each visit.

6. Scrolling news ticker from the BBC within the news section.

If you have a solution for any of the above wishes then I would love to HEAR FROM YOU.
