Searchbots Return

Posted on October 13, 2006

Searchbots has returned after a three year absence. When the site was active 30,000 search bots were created.

Searchbots was originally launched in 1999 by Morse Media as a way of showcasing Macromedia's Flash Generator and over 30,000 personalised Searchbots were built. The project proved to be unsustainable and has been under redevelopment for the last three years as a research project.
You can find Searchbots at searchbots.net. The website says that in May that the "new Searchbots prototype was launched today at the Webstock Conference in Wellington, New Zealand. The website is still under development but you can build your own Searchbot and do a colour or tag search." It is cool that the personal searchbots have returned.
