The tools API, incomplete as it is, could be used to automatically generate a list of tools for a single instance.

Hi Bernardo,
I'm intrigued by this idea. It might be possible to build a Google custom search, similar to the Tools tab of the usegalaxy search (http://galaxyproject.org/search/usegalaxy/). That's would not be an ideal solution, but it would be quick to implement.
or adding a new page to listing all the tools (similar to the "Tool versions" page you get from the report tools). And this page can easily be called and parsed from a central location.
This kind of reminds me to the "good old days" when we checked the list of databases available from all the public SRS servers:
http://bioblog.instem.com/download/srs-parser-and-software-downloads/public-...
where the info is all taken from pages like:
http://www.dkfz.de/menu/cgi-bin/srs7.1.3.1/wgetz?-page+databanks http://srs.ebi.ac.uk/srsbin/cgi-bin/wgetz?-page+databanks
Such a page listing all the tools would also be nice for the users. Not everybody likes search boxes. Some people prefer reading lists.....

Let me take a look at this in a week or two (traveling this week) and see if searching ~28 sites is tractable/possible with a free Google custom search.
Thanks,

Hi community,
Due to the increasing Galaxy public servers PublicGalaxyServers http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/PublicGalaxyServers it would be very useful to have a search tool in order to look for software ready-to-use in the public servers.
Since I know this is not available. Will it be feasible?
Here is the Trello Card https://trello.com/c/FdF5h17c
Regards,
Bernardo
