Create Custom Search Engines with Google

Google recently launched what they are calling "Custom Search Engines." Using your existing Google account (signing-up for one is free), you can create search engines which will search specific sites, the entire Web, or both, and have the search engine return only results which are relevant to your areas of interest.


For example: You could create a custom search engine that included business sites your visit regularly. You could then use this search engine to look for articles within these sites. Or create a search engine that only searches for financial articles based on industry keywords.

The possibilities are endless, and you can now harness the power of Google's search technology to create your own personalized search engines!

From Google:

A Custom Search Engine is a tailored search experience, built using Google's core search technology, which prioritizes or restricts search results based on websites and pages that you specify, and which can be tailored to reflect your point of view or area of expertise.
