In addition to crunching, you can provide some support to SETI@home by using GoodSearch and GoodShop. These search engines redirect a half their advertising to revenues to charity. Just be sure to choose "University of California - SETI@home" as your charity of choice. ![]() ![]() |

I forgot to acknowledge that this was Blurf's idea from quite a while ago, that we hadn't publicized for reasons too annoying to go into. ![]() ![]() |

Signed up and am using it now. So far, I've made 8 cents ? Oh well, every little bit helps. |

Well, at the rate I do searches, I'm racking up a dime a day. I made a couple purchases I was going to make anyway, too that should add up to a couple bucks. If enough people join it might add up to enough to pay Matt not to abandon us for life on the road next year. ;) ![]() ![]() |

Would it help, if I double the Euro on the wall? Pluto will always be a planet to me. ![]() Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

I've been using them since late 2009 and am glad to have company. For the Opera browser, adding Goodsearch to the list of search engines is also simple. Name: GoodSearch Keyword: o Address: http://www.goodsearch.com/search.aspx?keywords=%s I also have checks in the "Use as default search engine" and "Use as Speed Dial search engine" boxes. Joe |

OK...the kitties would like to help out too, their little paws do a little searching now and again. How do you get your Seti avatar to display there? "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster ![]() |

Hello ! Well, something happened here. I did some searching, and a little message came up, telling me that now, when I search, SETI will get more money, and I will get some kind of points. Don't care about the points, but the money for the project is MORE that welcome. This GOODSEARCH is a great idea ! Thanks Blurf ! Hope I got that name right. Sorry if I didn't. |

This is great I'm surprised I haven't heard of it before. I will certainly be using this. Cheers and goodluck |

What's to stop someone setting up some sort of automation that would do searches via a macro & 'artifically' generate money?... |
