tutsearch.net – find that tutorial you’ve been looking for
It went live September 1, 2008. The main functionality is finished but I still want to add a little more.
I design and created it by myself but I have to give a shout out to Chris Coyier at css-tricks.com. I watched one of his tutorials on creating a custom google search engine for a website and just took the idea and ran with it.
What was the basic thought behind starting tutsearch.net?
I am always bookmarking tutorials and I wanted an easier way of keeping track of them. So instead of going to each tutorials site that I had bookmarked and try to find the tutorial I wanted. I thought it would be easier just to create a search engine that searched all of my favorite sites at once.
How many sites are currently in the database to search?
Currently 80 and growing everyday.
Which sites are currently listed?
The big boys are there like psdtuts.com, nettuts.com, css-tricks.com and etc but if I find a small site or just a
single tutorial I will include it.
How did you choose them to get started?
I choose tutorials and sites that I actually find useful. They literally are hand picked by me.
Thanks so much for letting us get to know a little more about your new site Art!

Very nice find!
Was searching before for a tutorial so Im sure this will help once the community start adding websites to it!
Great site. It would be helpful to list the sites in the database. Thx.
Sean Hodges last blog post..Inspiration – Doodlage
@Sean your absolutely right! I think more people would be interested to find out as well. I asked but..obviously didn’t get “the list”.
@Art Webb > What do you think, could you maybe hook my readers up with the list?
80 is a long list but it would be great if it could be added ON the site itself … maybe the latest additions under the search box and a link to submitted sites?! That way you would know if a certain site/tutorial has been added!?
It’s a great site tho … we’ve put it in out Squeezy Links Of The Week over at TWS as I found it was a great tool and a great idea!

@Karinne – Are you guys reading my mind? That was next on my to do list. Please feel free to let me know if you have anymore suggestions.
@Art Webb- Hmmm… What’s the saying? “Great minds think alike?” :) Can’t wait to see this!
Nice find! This will be a great resource to call upon later. Thanks Adelle!
Thanks for sharing this, looks like a great resource!
Excellent resource I would have to say. I just went over there, and am about to bookmark this son of a bitch. Thanks man!
