hi matt, I recently created a CSE for the VR panorama world, works pretty fine, you might want to take a look at it: Thanks for your great post, all the best, your marco

Even though this post is over two years old, it is still relevant. And surprisingly, there still isn’t a great resource for finding custom search engines, and little from Google to make it easier. Strange.

But then it hit me–this is a perfect job for a CSE. So I humbly submit a Custom Search Engine for Custom Search Engines.

Hope someone out there finds this useful. Let me know if you want to contribute. I’m still waiting for CSE’s to take off, as I find them incredibly useful.

Hi,

Can you suggest ways to promote a custom search engine? I edited a CSE to point out towards free book download sources. What are the other areas possible?

Regards,

For some reason it doesnt seem to work for me. I get a “custom search url not valid” error.

Thanks for the insights into CSE possibilities. It’s the next wave for search for sure.

I’m into indie music and here’s one CSE door that could end the current era of the music industry as we know it…

Algo: Only urls (+filters) that can virtually ensure users reaching subject relevant free music downloads “a click from landing”. That’s my touchstone.

With these kind of to-die-for quality search returns (for indie explorers at least), I’m now trying to figure out how CSEs could be more easily shared and distributed as a plugin.

This CSE is new stuff to me. But I am excited to implement this into my “family friendly” niche. Originally I didn’t want to use a standard google search box because of the adult related keywords, but this should work out nice. better than a filter i’ve seen.

thanks

Rich,

If you go to the ‘code’ section of your CSE you can scroll down and expand the box that lets you return results on your own page.

Is there yet a list of custom search engines?

Can someone help?

My friend and I are in the process of building a custom search engine using google. We are uploading different websites into the index etc thus creating a vertical search engine. I have two questions. 1. Using Adobe GoLive, how do we get the results to appear in a Webpage that we created? 2. How do we change the URL for the results page? (example http://www.mysite.com/google_results…etc.etc..)

Thanks!
