itpints blog

I know that it has been a while we don’t post in this blog, but we’re still alive. To prove that, I want to announce some changes we’ve been making on the site lately.

Search filter operators

We added some search operators to exclude results by words, phrases or domain.

• Use -domain.com for excluding a specific domain.
  E.g.: "Family Guy" -twitter.com
• Use -keyword for excluding results containing specific keyword/s.
  E.g.: "Family Guy" –peter
• Use any combination of previous criteria to get what you’re looking for
  E.g.: "Family Guy" -peter -twitter.com

New API features

We updated our API with new values on the returning objects, and support for pagination. You can see more details in our API documentation page.

New ordering by relevancy

We are testing a new way of ordering the search results, based on the relevancy of each one. Currently the results more relevant will be shown at the top of each page by default, in the future, we are going to add an option for allowing the user to choose how to order the results.

..and more to come!

We are developing a mobile application a very exiting new feature for itpints. Stay tuned! we are going to update again very soon!

Hi!

Today is a very important date for itpints, today we are  releasing a new version!

As you provably noted, we’ve changed the design, but we did important improvements in the search engine,  and added new search sources too.

Hi!

It’s been a while since I wrote the last post.  I’ve been very busy with some other projects I’m doing and preparing the upcoming version of itpints. This new version will include a complete new design and various improvements in performance and functionality. Also, an alpha version is already running for all those who want to help me with the testing process.

So, stay tuned! very soon itpints will become much better

Itpints.com is an interesting solution that can be defined as a search engine you can use in order to find information about many matters in real time. One thing that makes this solution different to Google and other search engines, is the fact that it gives you a wide number of results with the latest publications about a variety of topics.

Today, we are announcing the public availability of the Itpints API. The API enables 3rd party developers to use itpints search services into their applications.

This first version of the API is very simple and only allows to search without pagination. We’ll keep adding features in the future.

The API is entirely REST based and uses JSON for the responses. The developers don’t need an account to start using the API, and don’t need to request any special keys. Currently the API is free and not limited to any number of calls per day.

Enjoy!

Itpints featured on Tekzilla’s Episode 372: Real-Time Web Search.

Elio from ilovecolors created an Ubiquity command to search and even fetch results within Ubiquity using itpints. It’s very useful and a must-see  ;)

The  Ubiquity command is available here.

Thanks Elio!

The search plug-in for browsers is now available. Now you can search directly typing in your browser!

It’s compatible with Firefox, Internet Explorer 7, Chrome and other browsers
