Relaunched Serchilo, relaunching this blog
If you’re still using Serchilo, you probably have noticed that the site had relaunched in summer this year. Now I’m also relaunching this blog. What, “relaunch”? If this sounds new to you then simply take a look on the new Serchilo and read what has changed. Other channels where Serchilo is on: On Uservoice, you…
Currently offline due to technical domain problem
Due to a technical problem at our domain provider dd24.net, no DNS entries for our domain http://www.serchilo.net are found. The provider promised to solve the issue as soon as possible. As a temporary workaround, you may enter our IP 217.11.54.118 in your local hosts file, for instance with these lines: 217.11.54.118 http://www.serchilo.net 217.11.54.118 de.serchilo.net Update…
New: Default keyword
Do you often just want to Google something but forget the g keyword? Now you can define a default keyword which Serchilo will use if you forgot it. For instance, if you define g, then anytime Serchilo does not recognize your query, it assumes g for Google Web and starts a Google search. To setup…
Serchilo on your console
We’ve implemented a little new interface for all console lovers. By calling Serchilo with action=url, for instance: http://serchilo.net/?action=url&query=g+berlin you will not be redirected to the target site but will just get its URL: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=berlin&ie=utf-8 This can be very useful if you have a shell script on your system calling Serchilo with your query, getting the…
New: Paid commands
In order to refund some of our server costs we have introduced paid commands. For example we have registered Serchilo as a partner at Amazon.de and added our partner ID to the Amazon.de command’s target URL. Now if you are using the Amazon command, Amazon will know that you came from Serchilo and will pay…
New: User styles

Serchilo.net accessible again
The problem of yesterday afternoon seems solved, the transfer of the domain was successful and Serchilo.net should be accessible from everywhere again. However, it could take some more hours to have all DNS servers updated. If you still experience problems, please leave a comment.
Serchilo.net currently inaccessible
Because of sudden insolvency of our current provider we have to change our domain to another one. Therefore, there are currently problems in accessing serchilo.net. We have already initiated a domain transfer and waiting now for the update of the DNS servers. This can take some hours, maybe even a day. Sorry for this inconvenience.
Lightning Talk at 24C3
At the 24th Chaos Communication Congress I had the chance to give a Lightning Talk on Serchilo. Mario Behling of SuMa-eV was so nice and put the video online. So after the Screencast in German we have now a first (kind of) presentation in English:
