Searchengine for a community

[Lars]

Do you know any example where Zoom is used as a searchengine for a certain topic, (golf, fishing etc) and where several different sites in that topic is indexed?
Whould it be OK with the licens terms if one let other sites publish the search field and also perhaps the search results, in an iframe?

We've seen a good number of them actually, but we didn't keep a list personally so it's not easy to dig up on the spot.

You can simply add each site to index by clicking on the "More" button next to the start spider URL. You can also specify a limit on the number of pages per start point (i.e. site) so one site may not saturate the results.
You can also import the list of sites from a text file.

And yes, you can have a search field on other sites that submits to your search engine, and return results any way you like. The licensing restrictions are all entirely on the indexing side, so there is no restrictions on how you deliver or present the results.
