Google Unveils - Customizable Search Engine For Websites

In an attempt to bolster it’s already sizeable 45% search share on the Internet, Google yesterday unveiled custom tools which will allow other Web sites to limit the range of material that they want to include in their search indexes as well as rank the importance of specific pages.

The free service, unveiled late Monday, marks Google’s latest attempt to expand its lucrative online advertising network and extend its influence on how people navigate the Internet.

“Now people can get the power of Google search even when they’re not on Google.com,” said Shashi Seth, group product manager for the custom search engine.

Google has designed this system to appeal to Web sites that want their search engines to focus on specific topics. For instance, a fishing site might tailor Google’s customized search engine so it doesn’t scan music sites to minimize the chances for confusion when the term “bass” is entered.

Web sites run by government agencies, universities and nonprofit groups will be permitted to deploy the custom search tools without being forced to run Google’s ads. — Read More
