We perform lot of searches on the web everyday using search engines. Most of the time we use Google, sometimes it’s just not enough & we try others like Bing. So, myself & the100rabh came up with an idea to provide access to multiple search engines right from IM. We built an IM Search Bot, which we call “sbot” which is always available for you in your IM to perform searches.

sbot

Sbot supports Google, Bing, Yahoo! & Twitter search right now. Just add Sbot as your buddy on Gtalk/Y! Messenger/Live Messenger & start using it!!

Google Talk – sbot@bot.im
Yahoo Messenger – searchbot@ymail.com
MSN Live Messenger - searchbot@live.com

Once Sbot is added to your IM Buddy list, just start conversing with it. To start with send “help” & bot responds with usage instructions.

  • To perform Google search send g<space>search term
  • To perform Bing search send b<space>search term
  • To perform Yahoo search send y<space>search term
  • To perform Twitter search send t<space>search term

I use Sbot more when I’m at work since I don’t like to open too many tabs in the browser at work. One more really good usage of Sbot is Twitter Search! Whenever I’m busy, I use sbot to check my replies by just sending a message “t @hnprashanth”, simple!!

We are open for suggestions to add more search engines & features to sbot, please drop them in comments section.

Search Bot is built using Imified

  1. hey this is really nice man. Hats off to you guys. I really like the twitter reply search feature. Saves lot of time, i don have to open browse, click replies. Sweet :)

  2. Thanks a lot! I really appreciated the twitter info and will forward this ‘jewel’ to my colleagues.

  3. I would say a great invention from great minds!

    Really like the “sbot” simplicity and power-pact usage from IM’s. Now I don’t need to go to Google, or check my twitter a/c for seeing replies, it’s on 1 click from G-talk.

    Just curious will it be possible to differentiate search results, let’s say if I need to see results for Google.co.in or Google.co.uk will there be any special parameter I need to add on to search for results based on countries/region.

    I guess right now “SBOT” is sending universal (Google.com) results.

    Anyways Thanks Guys…
