Google specialized search for Analysis Services and MDX web resources integrated in my blog

I have been tracking web pages related to Analysis Services and MDX since 2005. Over these few years, I have collected numerous links, articles, blogs on Analysis Services and Multi-Dimensional Expressions.

Normally, I tried to store the key articles on my computer disk but there are many resources which I wished I could just search on. Finally, this Sunday afternoon, I extracted all the URLs and created my own Google custom search engine which tracks the web sites indexed my me. It turned out to be very cool and most of the time gave very accurate results which otherwise was not possible to get in generic Google search engine.

E.g., if you search for a very generic term called "Bucket", here is what you would get:

BucketGoogleSearch

Well, try the same search in the customized search option in my blog and here is the result:

AjitSinghMDXCustomSearch

Here you would get a bunch of links which deals with the "Bucket Analysis" using Multi-dimensional expression (MDX) queries. Well, the result also listed lots of sites from one "Gary Low" whose blog on Analysis Services had a name "Bucket" so, I needed to filter out the "Gary Low" in my search keyword.

There has been a lot of effort on my part gone into setting up this custom search specifically for Analysis Services and MDX and hope that you too can take advantage of it.

Happy searching!!
