Gada.be Search Engine Launches

Lockergnome founder Chris Pirillo and developer Shayne Sweeney have created an interesting search engine called Gada.be that lets you control the search keywords by including them as part of the domain name. The launch press release explains how Gada.be works.
Try the search box on the main page (or at the top of any gada.be page). Notice how your keywords are separated by a dash when you look at your address bar? We do this for a reason: your keywords are infused with the site's results! You might be visiting Seattle, in need of good sushi. So, enter http://seattle-sushi.gada.be/ in your address bar or enter "seattle sushi" into the search box.

You can use dashes or dots to separate your words. Dashes imply that you're searching for both of the words (together or apart), whereas a dot implies that you're searching for a term. This way, you can carry the URL with you wherever you go (or link to it) and the results will remain intact. You can even combine them, dashes and dots, in the URL. http://technology-cool.stuff.gada.be/ would yeild results akin to: technology AND "cool stuff" (go ahead, give it a shot).
More examples try search-engine.gada.be">search-engine.gada.be or cool.websites.gada.be.
