Searchbar History is a project by Ori and Kate to create poetry out of internet searches.

It is an ongoing project that started from a conversation between the creators, and we just released our first volume at Canzine on November 1st, 2009.  We are in the midst of publishing these poems online and we are always looking for more search histories.

Examples
Here are two poems from our first volume.  Each is composed entirely of internet searches performed on a single computer.  Every line is a search, and the title of a poem is a search as well.  The only additions made by us are punctuation marks at the ends of some lines.


Riddles
is curry an acid or base
are dreads sexy
difference between a sea and an ocean
does an acoustic electric guitar need an amplifier
fish that clean other fish
the life and times of Scrooge McDuck                  
what's my zip code

where does the money go?


untitled
lonely dear?
1930's women--
They don't love you like I love you.
