Eureka! Your own search engine has landed!
23 octobre 2006
Posted by Shashi Seth and R.V. Guha, Google Co-op team
Wouldn't it be cool if you could easily build a search engine on your blog or website tailored to the topics and areas you know and love the most? You're not alone if you'd like that -- we've heard from partners large and small, and users across the web who want access to the Google search platform, and want to customize and make it their own.
We're thrilled to tell you that the search for your own search engine is over. Today we are launching the
Google Custom Search Engine
. As you might imagine, it's a simple and straightforward product to use and understand. In a matter of minutes you can create a search engine that reflects your knowledge and interests; looks and feels like your own; and, if you choose, you can make money from the traffic you receive through Google's AdSense program. You can even invite your friends and trusted community members to add to and help build your search engine.
Finding specific information has never been so easy, and there's no programming knowledge or cost involved. We worked with a few initial partners to demonstrate the power of the customization features. Check out the search engine
RealClimate.org
built to better connect their users to the environmental science information they are looking for. Intuit created a search engine for their
JumpUp.com
site, finding that it met the needs of their small business customers. But the Custom Search Engine is not just for businesses. Since Shashi is passionate about wine, he created a "wine search engine" and put it on his
wine blog
so his friends can search for wine-related topics from there.
You can build a Custom Search Engine on any topic you like.
Give it a try.
