Search your blog world

What happens when you put together a popular blogging platform, a customizable search experience and a flexible search API? You get a
Search Box widget for Blogger
, built using the
AJAX Search API
, and powered by a
Linked Custom Search Engine
(CSE).
Configure this widget on your Blogger blog and you can immediately search not just your blog posts, but across all the link lists/blogrolls you've set up on your blog and the links you've made from your posts.
The widget is now available on
Blogger in Draft
, Blogger's experimental site. Once you've logged in and configured the widget, visitors to your blog will see a search box there. The search experience inherits your blog's look and feel, and is uniquely flavored around pages you've linked to from your blog.
To add the widget:
Edit your blog's layout.
Click on "Add a page element" and configure the "Search Box" widget.
Your link lists will automatically show up as optional tabs for your search; you can decide which ones you want to configure. Go ahead -- custom-search-enable your blog!
