I just found something today that some of you may (or may not) be interested in. First, cast your mind back to the discovery of M Scrapbook / Weaver and the sandbox Google Accounts page linking this service to the following URL:

http://www.google.com/h9

We know that this redirects to a login / account setup page for the mysterious Weaver service:

When not signed in to your Google Account:
https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=weaver&passive=true&nui=1&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fh9

When signed in to your Google Account:
https://www.google.com/accounts/NewServiceAccount?service=weaver&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fh9

Whilst some of us have tried (and failed) to find out more about this service, today I discovered this...

Most attempts at requests to pages in this directory result in 404s. However, I tried one today that redirects to the login / account setup page as above:

https://www.google.com/h9/search

What does this mean? Well, I'd guess it means that Weaver / M Scrapbook / H9 is (or will have) some kind of search. Not surprising really, especially given that it's a Google service, but I thought it might inspire someone to try and find out something else.

(Sorry if you were expecting some exciting news! That's the best I can do for now...)

good pick tony, I have tried many files names and directories names, but "search" nope :-)
Just the file "index.html" which gives the same result
