GoogleFOAM becomes FOAMSearch

Well, I have gone and changed the site name once again…. Why, you ask?

I re-read the Terms of Service I agreed to when I created the CSE and there is some fine print that says ‘don’t use Google in the name of your search engine’. Ooops, mea culpa. So while I have received no communication from the Googs’ lawyers, I am trying to be a good digital citizen by living up to my side of the bargain.

So, now the Site is CALLED FOAMSearch, but the URL remains googlefoam.com. I own that, so there is no need to change any links. If this gives you significant cognitive dissonance then you can use these URLs too – foamsearch.net, foamsearch.org, foamsearch.ca.

Be not afraid, the Search remains the same. There are also a few new cosmetic changes, and these will continue over the next while. I will be changing Themes and a few other items over the next few weeks.

Thanks to Brent Thoma (@Brent_Thoma) for the kickstart and help with these changes (on New Year’s Day no less… we both need to let go a little I think…).

Please let me know what you think.
