Right on. I want this too. We put up such a search engine like this a couple
of years ago, I think it's still running, but it only indexed three sites
this way. A news-oriented search engine is a good idea. The
AltaVista-Moreover partnership announced a few weeks ago is a step in the
right direction, but we all want Google, right, and the news should be
integrated with search results.

It would also be a good first step towards tightening the connection betw
search engines and content management software. Lots more can be done to
optimize this.

PS: I even have an acronym for these kinds of search engines: JIT-SEs, for
Just-In-Time-Search-Engine.
