| Welcome to RadixBot. This site should have a free search engine for surnames that appear on various genealogy websites, online databases, mailing lists relating to historical Hungary. There are three intended phases for this service: 1) Collecting the list of sources that contain useful information for the genealogist. 2) Providing custom links or forms to facilitate easy search in these resources - one link or form for each resource. 3) Launching the final service that would enable crawling in the listed sources with one simple query. In October 2005, at RadixBot's announcement, the service is in phase 1). The growing and constantly enriched list of sources is available here. Development history: Oct 2005 - announcing RadixBot on RadixLog Oct 2005 - the second major round of resources collecting Oct 2004 - signing up RadixBot for various mailing lists Oct 2004 - registering the domain for the final name: RadixBot.com Sept 2004 - registering the first, now obsolete name of the service: RadixBox.com Sept 2004 - playing with webforms, data fetching Jul-Sept 2004 - collecting the first set of links early 2004 - the idea is born, inspired by Rob Kuijsten's surname navigator (idea) and Steve Morse's One-step webpages (implementation, simplicity). |
