Build your own custom Google search engine

25 10 2006

Lifehacker: “Google has just rolled out a new feature on their still young Google Co-op service that allows users to create custom search engines that limit results to specific, user-defined sites.

Of course Google isn’t the first to travel this road, the first of which I can remember being Rollyo, but this is Google, so it automatically carries some clout. I put together a quick custom search engine for Lifehacker this morning, and the interesting thing was that my search results, while similar, were not identical to the search results I would get from a site-specific search (e.g., site:lifehacker.com search terms); in fact, they were better. Feel free to give my Lifehacker search engine a try, and let us know how the custom search engine works for you in the comments. — Adam Pash
