Je suis impressionné par cette technique, apparemment pas si recente (mi 2005) qui permet d’afficher du texte avec une police non présente sur la machine cible dans un browser au moyen de Flash/CSS/JS.
Le produit est ici et vaut le détour :

Cette checklist date un peu mais elle contient de bonne idées :
* Accept multiword keyword searches, without requiring SQL commands or Boolean operators.
* Find matches on some or all words as keywords, as well as phrases
o Better to find something than nothing.
* Allow customers to enter product codes and product brand names as well as general topics.
o Make repeat customers happy
* Default to searching all the product information, but recognize a few special fields, such as size, color and price (see faceted metadata search)
* Include synonyms, so a search for “red sweater” will find scarlet cardigans and magenta crew-necks.
* Include site information, such as order status and return processing.
* Index extensive product information, even if it’s stored in back-end databases
o Few database search engines are both easy to use and flexible, see the SearchTools Report on Database vs. Full-Text Search.
* Sort results so the most likely to be relevant items come first.
o Perform user testing to learn what relevance means to customers
o Analyze your search logs to find out what people ask for and where they go
o Adjust the search indexing to include everything that’s useful
* Format results listings to show the most valuable information:
o Emphasize the matching text using bold or colors, so it’s clear why the item was found.
o For physical products, such as clothes or groceries, show pictures.
o Show the most important elements, such as price, size, brand name or compatibility information.
o Include inventory status, so it’s clear what’s available and what must be backordered.
* For searches which don’t find any matches, provide a clear and helpful error page.
o See the SearchTools Report on Search Failure and the report on No-Matches Pages
* Generate a search log, which store operators can consult for free market research:
o what’s popular
o what’s trending down
o what customers look for that you don’t carry
o what misspellings and typos they commonly make.

Un nouveau wrapper PHP5 orienté objet.
Je pense d’abord tester l’implementation de Daniel Menard avant de regarder celle ci, mais c’est toujours bon à savoir !
En voila une bonne idée : une console Python libre service en ligne :

Cet article de HP Dev Resource Central montre bien l’interêt d’utiliser les schémas XML pour définir de manière rigoureuse les types de données échangées par des Web Services :
Using XML schemas effectively in WSDL design.
