Google has launched a new service designed to let web site publishers build their own search engines using Google’s massive index of page links, reports the IDG News Service.
The Google Custom Search Engine service will let anyone put a Google-powered search box on their web sites that only searches certain sites and pages. That way, the publisher of a web site about, say, hockey, could put a search box on his home page that only returns links to pages about that sport that he hand-picked, notes IDG. The service will also let publishers have a search engine that taps Google’s index in full but gives preference to results from Web sites they have pre-selected, the article adds.
