Welcome to the NEW blog related to the Dragon Search engine. The actual Dragon search engine will be re-posted in a few hours. I am in a wheelchair and so dashing to the workstation in question is a tad challenging. The website address is http://www.dragonsearchengine.us
The URL is designed to remind you that it covers the mental health community in the USA. I once had a “handicapped rights/accessibility” book that had some new information but hard to follow. Black was writing about England!
The first goal of this blog is to encourage feedback about the present search engine industry, its products, and it’s practices. If I cannot use the information, at least we can get the issues out in the open.
The second goal of this blog is to discuss and document the development of the Dragon search engine, a la lab notebook style. I have a damaged right hand and pencil-style documentation is not an option.
The third goal of this blog is to provide a forum for potential and actual Dragon users to express ideas and concerns about the website and its application. There are currently fifteen “simple psychological search terms”, although the initial coding will only use ten. (It will eventually allow phrases in a text box.). What terms would you like to add.
In closing, let me tell you the intended audience for Dragon that I see in my mind’s eye. The local community mental health center, that is not even located in the county seat. The reception room contains a fluctuating population of patients, family members, friends, and other specialists. The terms may be slightly familiar from school or the media, but all of a sudden they have a personal and immediate application. Of course in all the current whirlwind, the diagnosis/description is about the only thing that sticks. Sorry, doc. Dragon is a way to learn more about that phrase. There is nothing to sign up for like a newsletter or an account to get better service. The young and the old in the field are equally welcome. The links are selected by a deterministic computer program. There is no human intervention in Dragon to de-emphasize sites using a disease model of mental illness human intervention to favor natural organic good diet for treatment. If you want that fight, go deal with the websites directly.
Respectfully yours,
