Scroogle is no longer working for the second time this year (I archived the announcement at the end of this entry). The author claims Google deliberately killed the simple interface they were using. I've e-mailed to point out that Google Custom search works fine, but relying on Scroogle isn't going to cut it anymore. The obvious solution is to use GoogleSharing. However, not all devices support it due to the requirement of a Firefox plugin; my phone for example. After meeting Moxie I discussed the idea of including a search interface with the GoogleSharing server. The idea would be that <googlesharing server>:<port>/search would provide a plain HTTP interface to search through the server.
