Create your own search engine

October 9th, 2008 By Etan Horowitz

Doing a Google search can sometimes be overwhelming because it provides so many results. Creating a Google Custom Search Engine allows you to only search the sites you choose, so you get fewer results. You may want to have several custom search engines, each focusing on different subjects. Custom search engines can also be an alternative to bookmarking interesting links and articles you want to read later.
