Great news! Thanks for getting Haiku on GoodSearch Matt! And I agree with
Urias, adding some directions for users who aren't all that familiar with
GoodSearch would be a good idea. I think those directions should be added
into a blog post so that everyone who frequents www.haiku-os.org can easily
find out how to start using GS to help Haiku.
Regards,
Arman
