So I’ve written a quick and dirty greasmonkey script that does just that. This adds a search link to each line of the keywords report. At the moment it is just for one search engine, but using a dropdown would also work.

Grab Greasemonkey and then download Search for Keywords Greasemonkey script.

I developed the “kottke matrix test-tube babies” test, this originated from me recalling a crazy post on Jason Kottke’s blog about the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies. These had a ridiculous number of comments (457) and a lot of content, which I suspected would be beyond any reasonable content threshold a search engine may have implemented. I took a search term out of the final comment (test-tube babies) and a couple of terms to narrow the search (kottke matrix) and away I fired on the big search engines.

The results of the test, Google and Live are the only 2 that happen to return the page I was targeting. It’s interesting to see however, that Yahoo finds the Science page which contains the term “test tube” but not “babies”. This page is 180kb in size and “test tube” appears approximately half way down, whereas the Matrix Revolutions page is 646kb and test-tube appears at the very bottom.

What’s the moral to this story? Google and Live.com index atleast the first 646kb of a page, Yahoo indexes (at a minimum) around 100kb and Ask isn’t on the radar.
