Google Custom Search Engine Introduced - Hmmmmm. - posted by Day Tooley
As the new generation of browsers are rolled out (Opera 9, Firefox 2 and IE7), all include methods to customize and add functionality with widgets and plugins.
One of the nice features I have used for the past year is Rollyo which allows creating a custom search engine within the Firefox browser. These accounts can be shared. For example, mine is http://rollyo.com/daytooley/easystreetsites/ which searches the public websites of EasyStreet. Rollyo uses Yahoo's search database.
Now, Google has stepped up with their version. Here is an example you can try which also searches the four EasyStreet websites (main website, support, Rich Bader's blog, and this business blog).
For those businesses who have a website, it is an easy way to add search capabilities to your site without having to program custom code. Notice the Google Custom Search box added at the very bottom of this page.
Want to roll your own custom search engine?
Go to http://google.com/coop/cse. It takes just a minute.
