13. Efficient searching to fuchsia-sites on internet

What has become clear to me after more than a year 'searching' to fuchsia-sites on internet is the fact, that two meanings of the word 'fuchsia' searching to information about the fuchsiaplant doesn't make easy. Besides that searching becomes made difficult by the fact that this word in other languages is written different, for example in the German language as 'fuchsie'. Many excisting mistakes in writing of this word - for example 'fuschia' or 'fushcia'- cause that interesting sites aren't to find under 'fuchsia' in the searching results. The following article tries on base of obtained experience to help you searching more efficient to fuchsia-sites.

When in the begin of 1999 I tried to make myself familiair the surfing on internet, one of the first searchwords of which the search-engine offered his results was that of my dear plant 'fuchsia'. The result of the searchtour delivered more than 1000 sites, in which would stand in the text somewhere the word 'fuchsia'. The gross of the by me linked sites had to made nothing with this plant.

The right searching to information about the fuchsia is made difficult by the fact that the word 'fuchsia' is standing for a certain plant as well as for an important standard colour out of the graphic world (a so-called html-colour fuchsia, also named magenta). The hard rose standard colour indication you see reproduced in the background of the headline above this article. It isn't then surprizing that a large number of sites found by the search-engine just gives information about this html-colour. Many products which are delivered in the hard rose colour are also inserted in the presented list. Such a search-engine searches mechanical after the word 'fuchsia' without paying attention to the fact if it goes about a plant with that name or about something with the hard rose colour, isn't it? By the found colour indication there are sites between about underwear, robes, sex-lingerie, shoes, lamps, bags, etc.. Remarkable are in those selected lists also hotels, modelhouses and coffee-houses with the name 'Fuchsia'. And you find there also sites of dogs, cats and horse breeders with the name 'Fuchsia'. Don't stare when you clicked on a site and there appears the robust miss 'Fuchsia' in the picture who invites you for a party of wristling. Recently I found still a very remarkable 'fuchsia-site' on the URL-address http://www.camk.edu.pl/~piotr/fuksja/fuchsia3.shtml of somebody in Poland. A number of photos from fuchsias are showed in the article 'My computer', and after reading this, it seams that the search-engine this article about his computer, that he give the nick-name 'Fuchsia', has devided in the database from 'Google' in the searchlist with the subject 'fuchsia'!

A made better search-instruction

By giving up in the search-instruction the plural of the plantname, so in English 'fuchsias', delivers this well less sites, but they mostly give well information of this plant. Most of the sites with the colour-indication then aren't taken up longer in a new list with links. The plural-form is allready a whole change for the better for searching information about our fuchsia garden-hobby.

My 'GFI-Search-engine to fuchsia-hobby gardensites'

It gave me great annoyance to waste much time with clicking of sites that provided me no pointed out information about my fuchsia-hobby. Therefore I thinked the possebility to make myself a search-engine to sites about the fuchsia-plant and this then to add for use by other fuchsia-lovers to my website 'Gelderse Fuchsia Info-site'. The first version of this appeared April 2000 with about 175 fuchsia-sites in 9 directories.

After composing of this first version it attracted attention that fuchsia-sites out of countries with German language were bad represented. Lateron I discovered the cause of it. Many German sites are presented only in German language and don't have a separate English version. And the German word for 'fuchsias' is 'Fuchsien'. For sites with only 'Fuchsien' in the text the search-engine makes a separate search-list and that list I had missed for the greater part by the first version. That means that after updating the first version (it is amazing how quick URL-addresses are cancelled or modified, also in fuchsia-sites) there also could been added in the second edition many German 'Fuchsien-sites' and counted the second edition of my search-engine allready 300 sites.

Afterwards there are searched always more search-engines - so well one thousand - and regular they deliver again new 'discoveries'. The third version from April 2001 has allready about 350 fuchsia-sites.

Did you wish that the search-engine in the search-list gives German as well as English sites then is that possible by most search-engines by giving in the search-instruction 'fuchsias OR fuchsien'.

The word 'fuchsia' in other languages

Some great search-engines make links to the occuring search-engines in the various countries and for my search I made frequently use of 'WorldJump' (1000 searchprogramm's and 1,5 miljoen foreign sites) http://www.worldjump.com. I was surprised that in many countries on those national searching search-engines after giving in the word 'fuchsias' this as a result delivered only zero sites, while you sometimes expect that they have in such a country also fuchsias.

It seams that such a country has rightly fuchsia-sites, but that those sites are placed under the word 'fuchsia in the language' of the country. For example in Polish search-engines under the word 'fuksje'. Give for example once the search-instruction in following (near my experience the best) search-engine 'Google' with words as 'fuksia', 'fushia', 'fuksje' etc. The result of the numbers in different search-lists of several manners of writing of this word you see in the undermentioned 'Tabel of searchwords'.

In all the then showed search-lists are always again a number fuchsia-sites, which be absent in the search-lists with the words 'fuchsias' or'fuchsien'. More difficult it becomes as a language has separate fonts, which aren't to type with your computer. For example the Russian word for fuchsia in cyrillisch writing looks as follows: . Via a Finnish / Russian search-engine (which has on it also an English translation), there could been added in my search-engine a number of fuchsia-sites out of Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Estonia. However, much of the given information of those sites perhaps I and also you cann't read.

When the update 2e version of this article is presented, is meanwhile the update 7e version with 850 sites about the fuchsia gardenhobby and about Fuchsia Lore on the Gelderse Fuchsia Info-site placed.

Summary

The setting up and managing of a search-engine to fuchsia-sites seams to be a time-consuming occupation. But the discovery of always again new fuchsia-information gives me much pleasure. You get at home very well in what there one and all is possible with regard to your fuchsia-hobby, I get ideas for articles in my 'Fuchsia-info Magazine' on this website. It surprises me always again how bad and artificial some webmasters (also those of Fuchsia-societies and from the fuchsia-nurseries) their website are presenting. But will my search-engine been complete, then you and I must accept that those bad websites are added between the good sites in it.

The final result of this effort is now that in future other fuchsia-lovers via the 'GFI-Search-engine to fuchsia-hobby gardensites' on the 'Gelderse Fuchsia Info-site' can gather on internet information about their fuchsia-hobby with less effort and also more efficient.
