Coming out of a long hiatus, Marco Tabini has this new post from his weblog today talking about BeebleX.com - the PHP search engine.

I've written more than once about the fact that searching for PHP-related information is one of the banes of my existence. I thought I'd take myself up to task and see whether I could come up with something of my own.

Thus was born BeebleX, The PHP Search Engine.

He continues, talking more about how the search engine works (categoried data results on a hand-picked number of PHP-specific resources) and some of the features that it includes: keywords/prefixes, a blog aggregation feed, a job search function, complete archives of mailing lists, "RSS feeds galore", a 404-trap, and a Firefox extension with a "Google passthru" function.

I gave it a shot and it seems to respond well to the searches that I submittted - and very fast as well. Definitely looks like they have a good start to this project - I'm looking forward to seeing where it takes the community...
