My Italian is very limited. Actually, I can hardly understand what you write about MTLookup. However, I am happy that my product has found its way to Italy. Greetings from Germany.
Hello Michael, your search engine is really cool and I wrote a small italian review about it in this post.
I didn’t know your blog before… now there’s a new feed in my web aggregator. :o)
PS. are you planning to build an API system for your searchengine?
Hello Simone,
I am not quite sure, what you mean with an API system. Which kind of API are you thinking of? Currently there is a method for using MTLookup and its database from outside. You simply POST or GET some URL, hand over some parameters, and a result list will be shown.
Currently, my own Movable Type Weblog uses this interface for searching. Moreover, Mark from murky.org has just released a Firefix toolbar extension for searching MTLookup. It also uses this interface.

Yes, I saw the plugin and I already built one similar for RSS World: http://lab.rss-world.info/firefox-search/

That’s what I mean.
Is there any documentation about how query the db and about responses structure?

It is not a SOAP based communication. Not something like “via HTTP, send XML in, return XML out”.
MTLookup sends back HTML output which can be displayed in browser. Just look at how searching works in my Movable Type Weblog. There is a simple form, which sends some parameters to MTLookup, then the result is displayed in the browser. There is no softare layer, in which my MTW accepts XML and transforms it into HTML itself.
Not now, but in the future, the returned HTML can be styled by the calling website. For example, MTW will be able to offer a search, where the result page looks as if it were a MTW page.
If you want, we can continue discussion by email. Are you interested in the database? What for? What do you want to do with the results? Just show in a browser? …

Yes, sure.
I will contact you ASAP, in a few days. :o)
