GoodGopher.com is now officially launched, and its index size has doubled since the public test drive last week. The site may still experience stability and performance challenges from time to time, so don't fret if you see that. We're tweaking the servers and hosting environment to maximize performance and uptime.

Today we're opening Good Gopher to the public for a stress test to see if we can break it. For this reason, don't be surprised if it's up and down throughout the day... or if the search response is slow. We're actually throwing a lot of activity at it ourselves, seeing how susceptible the engine is to peak search loads.

Also, we're still crawling a lot of new sites which aren't indexed yet, so what you're search on is a partial data set, not the full data you'll see upon official launch. Our crawlers are adding millions of new pages.

Confirmed that GoodGopher will go LIVE next week for a public test drive of a partial crawl data set.

GoodGopher upgrades now complete. Crawling resuming at accelerated rate. Thousands of sites already spidered and more on the way.

We are expecting a beta launch "public test drive" in one week.

June 4, 2015
We now have over 4,500 websites submitted to our index. This surge of interest is forcing us to expand our hardware beyond we anticipated, so we're ramping up new servers to handle the crawl demand. We still expect to launch to the public around the last week of June, although our crawls may be on the slow side until we can get the expansion caught up.

Over 2,500 websites already submitted to GoodGopher. Crawling and indexing is under way. Thank you for all the support!
