Just thought I'd share a site I slapped together to "scratch an itch" I've had for some time. I was getting a bit sick of prepending "eq2" or "everquest 2" to every Google search and still not getting necessarily relevant stuff, so I was looking for a search engine for exclusively EQ2 websites.

Not finding one, I decided sort something out myself! The result is pretty simple, but hopefully effective and still uses the ubiquitous Google as the backend:

EQ2 Search : The Search Engine for Everquest 2

Feel free to suggest sites I've missed which are potentially useful and I'll look at including them. If it's popular I may consider extending it to more comprehensive coverage of the sites (at present it's at the mercy of how deeply Google have indexed them)

Nice site, looks pretty slick and functional

Thank-you for the positive feedback! With the site suggestions, we're now running at 22 EQ2 websites covered comprising approximately 1.3 million pages

I think that figure could be higher if I weren't reliant on the big G, but it'll remain that way for now as it isn't that active to warrant the cost/effort of doing it directly.
