Use Google to search Furl!

Filed under: General, tags

Spurl is a social bookmarking manager similar to Furl. Zniff is a search engine for all the collective Spurl accounts.

Furl has a public version of single accounts (unless marked private by the account holder) so you can search an individual archive.
It also has a collective search engine of all the Furl accounts, but you have to search this from your own account.

What if you don’t have a Furl account (even though they are free!)

A way around this is to use Google:

inurl:furl.net/members trigon

in this example “trigon” is the search term

Although it doesn’t accept “phrase searching”…I tried to do a search for “tax and taxonomies” which is an article I have in my Furl archive, but it returned 2 hits from other Furl accounts that had both the words in the bookmark, but not as a phrase.

Another way is using the site search function:

site:furl.net/members trigon

Technorati tags and Tag Central both search Furl, but only for a tag and the contents within, they don’t search the full-text.
