Cool, but

Although I like the idea I have some issues with this page and the specialized Google interface it proposes.

  • For starters, it says "olpcnews searches 2 sites, including: laptop.org, www.olpcnews.com"
    • This puts the olpcnews.com site at the same level that laptop.org even though they are not related in any way (afaik)
    • It yields results from the whole web! It doesn't work as stated!
  • A minor issue is that it's in german...

On a side track, the user developing this is olpcnews and the name may confuse people into thinking that its collaborations may be official (afaik, they are not).

UPDATE: Just found this page OLPCWiki:Searching which has a link to this search page (also Google's), and works!
