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-srs-installations/

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,

Dave C

    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,
