I've been interested in the idea of having a user-facing website that generates static copies of its dynamic content on a set schedule. Do any of you have more examples of this?

About this particular search engine, though, the search results I received from it either were not very relevant or the service did not display information that made them seem relevant (such as a snippet of text from the page — it did this occasionally but not always).

There is nothing wrong with having a computer running on Shabbat if it is scheduled before Shabbat. (If you are worried about electricity generated on Shabbat by a Jew, use AWS ect that isn't in Israel) And some of the sites it links don't appear to be very "kosher".
