Design a website search engine

For web designers, it can be very helpful to be able to offer a powerful search tool that can easily and quickly be implemented on a website. Here is good and simple way – tailored to your needs and powered by Google

Designed or own a website or collection of websites you’d like to search over?

With Custom Search Engine, you can harness the power of Google to create a search engine tailored to your websites needs. A Custom Search Engine is a tailored search experience, built using Google’s core search technology, that prioritizes or restricts search results based on websites and pages you specify. Your Custom Search Engine can be tailored to reflect your point of view or area of expertise. With a Custom Search Engine, you can:

• Apply your website’s design, look and feel to the search results page.
• Provide search refinements within results pages to make it easier for searchers to find the information they’re looking for.
• Add websites to your search engine’s index as you surf the web.
• Invite friends and trusted users to co-edit and contribute to your search engine.
• Make money from your Custom Search Engine by participating in Google’s AdSense program.

Once you’ve defined your search engine index, Google will give you a simple piece of web code for a search box to place on your website or blog. You’ll then have the option to choose various customization options to make the design look and feel and functionality of your search engine your own. Find out more.
