We have been meeting with people in Communications and Information Technologies at Western to adopt SEEU as the default search on Western's homepage, which currently licenses the Google's search engine (which only returns a flat list of pages within a single university).
Given more resources, SEEU can be expanded to include all universities in Canada, USA, North America, and world (using a full university hierarchy). It can also be adopted in any vertical domains (such as publications in certain fields, movies, products), or locations (such as within a company, city, community).
You can visit SEEU, a small but full-fledged search engine, with your PC or mobile devices here. Note however, sometimes our web servers hosting SEEU may be busy with other data mining work so it can be a bit slow in response.
Below are a few snapviews of SEEU:
Fig 1: SEEU's homepage, when visited from a browser of a PC.
Beneath the search box are the topic, the university
and the file type hierarchies.
You can search with keywords alone, with keywords and hierarchies,
or with hierarchical browsing without keywords.
Fig 2: Use SEEU to search "professor" (keyword) in
"Computer security" (category) in three universities
selected in the university hierarchy.

Use SEEU from a mobile phone.
With browsing by clicks, SEEU is easier to use than typing
keyword(s) on small keyboards.
