About SiteSig

What it Does

• SiteSig tracks down static pages that disappear and reappear in different locations.
• SiteSig generates tight search queries based on lexical analysis of page content.
• Queries work well even when content changes, as long as the topic and vocabulary stay similar to the original.
• If the page remains accessible to search engines you can find it.

How to Use It

• Copy and paste a web site URL into the reverse search engine form.
• Press Generate to create the reverse search.
• Save generated search links as bookmarks.

Extension for Firefox and Other Browsers (coming soon)

• Directly generate search links for the current page.
• Automatically search for alternate locations when a known page fails to load.

Limitations

• SiteSig only has an English lexicon. It won't work well for other languages.
• It doesn't yet save URL to search terms mappings. So it won't help if you didn't save a search bookmark.
• It's still at the prototype stage.

Credits and Contacts

• SiteSig is the joint creation of Claes-Fredrik Mannby and Steve Cooper.
