Today, I tinkered with Google Co-op and created a search boost. If you subscribe to it, you can use it to tweak Google web search behavior for certain searches. For now, I set up some boosts related to puzzle hunts. If you subscribe, and then search for morse code more:players, then within your search for morse code, some sites' results will get a little boost--the pages I labeled as belonging to puzzle hunt players. It doesn't boost those results much, though. So you'd still need to wade through some irrelevant results if you only wanted to see web pages by puzzle huntists.
Oh, if your a huntist and you suspect that I failed to label your site, your team's site, a game culture site, or a game site, let me know.
Disclosure: I work for Google, but I still ain't sure I got this thing working right. Oh, and my opinions of any page's relevance are mine, not my employer's. Just like all of my opinions.
