I was just viewing the google robots.txt file and found a Beta test directory for a “Google Catalogs” search. Apparently, they are trying to scan in all the print catalogs possible to be searchable and viewable page for page.

Check it out. I’m not sure how usefull it would be since most anything that you can purchase is within the companies online store rather than viewing a scanned paper catalog.

Oh well… :cowbell:
