1. AR4D Search Engine

The EGFAR agricultural research for development (ARD) customized search engines can be used to search for either documents or web pages. They are based on a Google service (the Google Custom Search Engine, GCSE), and are targeted to the needs of the GFAR Stakeholders.

This means that the searches crawl only websites that are relevant to our target audience and allow refinements based on specific types of websites to be searched and terminology that is commonly used by GFAR stakeholders (like Regional Fora, CG Centers, RAIS, etc.).

The GFAR ARD Google CSE can be found at http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=011948126938199812372:ynkp0sbgkcy.
At the moment, the websites that Google searches for each category are: 

  • General
    www.fao.org
    + all the websites in the other categories

  • Regional Fora
    http://www.apaari.org
