----- Featured Action of the Week -----
Third Week of August, 2001:
In Search of Freedom
The web is a wild and disorganized place. If you don't believe me, go to
any search engine and type in the word "immigration." Google returns more
than 2.3 million results. Law firms to help you get that green card.
Genealogy archives. Government agencies. And, of course, mixed in at random
intervals, the material you're looking for -- free-market ideas on
immigration.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a search engine that returned nothing but
the relevant material? Just the good stuff? Well, now there is one, and
this week I'm asking you to help promote it.
Free-Market.Net has had a Search Page for years, featuring internal results
from our directory; we've also had a full-text search engine that covers
all of the material from our 125 partner organizations. Now we're making
that full-text engine available to webmasters for use on their own pages.
Our search engine returns only 161 hits on immigration ... but what hits
they are! Ranked by relevance, the best libertarian and free-market
conservative commentary on immigration. The events. The studies. The news.
Any issue, any time -- the Free-Market.Net Search Tool will bring up solid,
pro-freedom links. the kind of material you want to show your friends. The
stuff you want to quote in your letters to the editor, but that you just
can't remember where it can be found. _Without_ the credit card ads, the
links to porno sites, or the latest unintelligible piece of agitprop from
the state.
If you operate a web site, why not put this tool on your page? We've
formatted it so that it opens results in a new window -- the surfer never
has to leave your site, and will be right back at it when the search is done.
You can also use the Search Tool to generate bibliographies or appendices
to your own articles. Just run a search, copy the resulting URL, and paste
it in as a link. After reading your thoughts on an issue, the reader can
take a look at what other people who share your ideas have to say.
If you don't have your own site, you probably know someone who does. Make
sure they know about this.
As usual, we do our best to make it easy. To include the Search Tool on
your own site, all you have to do is paste the HTML we provide into your
source code. Take a look at the Search Tool -- and grab it for your own use
