It appears that the word ‘custom’ is quite easily associated with the many services and applications available over the web and search is no different. There are numerous websites that utilize Google’s custom search (ours included) to make searching far more effective and result oriented across a particular website and one of the most prominent sites using this efficiently is the 2008 Summer Games Site as the blog reports.

The Custom Search has brought quite a lot for the developers with its platform and API, making it possible for them to play with the power to shape the search options in their particular websites. An interesting feature; which makes it more powerful and enhances the experience for customized search is the linked CSE that enables your engine to update without manual involvement.

The added advantage is that it requires nothing and CSE can be create  in a flash using a simple MakeCSEtool. All that has to be done is simply provide it with an address that consists of hyperlinks, once done the tool automatically extracts data and builds up a CSE that is ready to display results for your queries.

There are quite a lot of ways one can utilize this from building a CSE for bookmarked URLs to searching them across messages sent by friends in Twitter, there are quite a lot of possibilities. What I like abut having a CSE for my site is that it saves me from the fuss that would other wise always be there to bug my search.
