Direct link: http://google.com/coop/cse - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14Ok, gonna sound like a cliched comment idiot, and probably going to get downvoted, but...
I don't get it.
I RTFA, and I still didn't get it. I tried the examples.. and still didn't get it.
Does anyone who.. gets it.. completely want to explain? Why and how does this have a practical use? What makes this different from the "site: " prefix, in regular google, and something that could not be done with the site prefix? - pennyfan87, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9no it doesn't...
- zooie, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11I wrote a review and included the XML files that were used in developing the advanced feature examples on my blog: http://zooie.wordpress.com
- Aiwanei, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It is a custom search engine that will search only sites that you specify, and/or will only deliver results to keywords that you specify. You can tell it to search ONLY those sites you specify, or all sites but the sites you specify get higher priority.
- wiz0rian, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Yes I used it for a bit. Having the ability to easily integrate your google adsense was a cool feature.
- miaow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i have a feeling this will become more useful than ordinary searches. humans making better indexers. plus you can use adsense. i was using rollyo but the layout was dreadful, limited to 25 sites, and the ads revenue went to yahoo.

"Specify some keywords that describe the content or subject of your search engine. These keywords are used to tune your search engine results."
"Choosing good keywords... Keywords are used by Google to make sure we promote the most relevant pages in the search results for your search engine. Good keywords are words and short phrases that describe any of the following:"
Sounds like it to me... Yet I still get dugg down? - psychoselya, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Quick, to the bandwagon!
Beer Rating Search Engine, thrown together by me. Please add beer rating sites, esp. if you know of regional ones...

What's the point of filtering if it's going to ignore it?

http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=012330120554322995894%3Afbap1ipqctk - waz67, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I see your beer search, and raise you a wine search:

http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=017403995926385814393%3Alnpjv1c0ree
Searching 73 tech sites (and growing)! - waz67, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I just created a "gadget" search engine:
http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=017403995926385814393%3Awoijqxv55qw
It confines the search to some of the leading gadget blogs. Feel free to add more.
The beauty of this is that you can create a customized search that limits it to a set of sites that you know are good. That way, the results won't be polluted by all the spam in regular google. - nocre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You can choose to only search the sites you've listed. Not sure if it works properly, though. I'm getting a lot of weird results for every engine I've tried. I don't think I've got a one where 'test' didn't return a number of bandwidth tests.
- crawfishsoul, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3See http://www.rollyo.com
Basically the same thing, but not Google. - mickmel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1For those of you making CSEs, you might want to submit them to some of the new directories of CSEs coming out. I know of two so far:
http://www.lurpo.com/
http://www.customsearchguide.com/
Anyone know of others? - FilteringCraig, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4It doesn't really do anything new and different, except that now you can integrate the search results page into your own visitor experience. For example when you installed a google search field on your site in the past, it would take people back to google's screen. Now, you have more customization options and you can keep them in your own site's experience. I am sure there are other differences, but these are the first that I have recognized even though I haven't had a chance to set one up yet.
It is really cool for site operators. - bpapa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Question - let's say i have a site of my own with a bunch of content and no search function. Could I use this to add search functionality to just my site?

This certainly beats repeatedly typing in site: prefixes all day. - Hornylion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0you should check this out http://www.hornylion.com it's like google but with naked chicks
- Novagenesis, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Eh...I'm thumbdowning it unless it improves.
I created a search engine based on the keywords "Programming,Lisp,Scheme,Common Lisp" and ran a few searches on concepts common in lisp languages but also common outside of lisp.
I failed to find ONE lisp reference in the first page of ANY of my search results.
The "this site only" part is pretty cool, but the keyword part is useless right now, imo - skipjacker, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5How scary is this? The first example they list as good is where scientists, who are already scared of other opinions and contradictory facts, limit your searches about their subject to sites which already agree with them. Guaranteeing that you'll be indoctrinated even further.
I can totally see this being maliciously used by public school. Just like what's happening to textbooks, searches for the Founding Fathers will only return stories about how slave ownership in colonial America. Searches about the atom bomb will only return stories of war crimes committed by the US. Searches for Christmas will have no results at all.
And for you Lefties, imagine the Kansas school system replacing evolution searches with Intelligent Design websites. - Novagenesis, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Wow, a valid point, buried without reply or explanation?
What's up with that? - tommajor, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3no, the keywords are so people can find your search engine...
- GodsMoon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I just created one for movies:
http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=013490205929877863695%3Ahldntqm5f_w
if covers Trailers, Actors Bios, and Reviews.
from sites like:
metacritic, apple trailers, rottentomatoes, roger ebert and more
I think I'll use it myself actually :) - billyleet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I went to the wine blog site and searched for "legs", which is a wine term. I was disappointed.
- j3one, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Wow, normally I hop on the digg down bandwagon when someone is pushing their own blog or site, but wow. NICE, very on topic, useful and a great example of this in use. Thank you!
- ludolphus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Found another work around for internet explorer: from the Tools menu go
to Internet Options, click the Language button and add English (United
States) here and put it on top of the list. For Opera do this: from the
Tools menu go to Preferences and change the Language to English [en] - mohitv, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0The Yahoo search builder has this feature. Goto http://builder.search.yahoo.com and click on Search Type. You can then restrict your search in many different ways.
- ludolphus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1ok, found the 'problem'. I am in the netherlands and have my system set to regional settings for 'dutch'. changed it to 'english (united states) and now it does work in internet explorer as well as opera. sounds like a bug by me..
- cyn0sure, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Cool feature, I wouldn't call it innovative though
- shakey77, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I haven't set this up yet, but as a owner/operator of way too many sites, it sounds like this may be an improvment over the Yahoo version.
Yahoo's site search that they have had out for many months worked great, but it still included the option for the end-user to search the web. As a site owner, I want to be able to restrict end-users (in some cases) to searching only that site or only within my network of sites. The new Google version seems to allow me to do this. I just hate using Google as they already know whay to much about us and I hate to contribute to the problem. - kingamoon, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4zooie = j3one
- elitebox, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1if your site is not being indexed by google, this won't work. they should develop a product that could instantly index your site. then this would be awesome.
- chriskzoo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I don't get it eaither. Things I am searching for fall into two categories:
-Things I need to know and don't know what site they would be on (i.e. I don't want to filter sites)
or
-Things that I know what site they will be on, but not exactly where, in which case I use the site: pre/suffix - HaltingPoint, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2And where's your proof that they're the same person? If anything he'd plug his own site like he's done in all his story submissions.
- jayhawk, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2would be much more thrilling if we could choose the value for various components of the algorithm used in the actual search. this is really not that new as you could always do a quick search and just add site:specificsitehere.com.
- bstrackany, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1I was able to add one to http://www.developmentnow.com in about 10 minutes. Works really well and probably great for small site operators like FilteringCraig said. One downside is it only uses Google's page index, so you have encourage Google to index as much of your site as possible with sitemaps et al.

My mistake - it is only the specific implimentation of the custom search engine on one of the demo websites that it (Adblock Plus 7.1.2 + Filterset.G) blocks. - ludolphus, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Looks like Google coop only works with Firefox ? Tried it with Internet Explorer (v6) and Opera (v9) and search results are from the entire google index instead of just the sites defined in the coop search engine.. Anybody noticed this problem and maybe have a solution ? Thanks.
- hanapbuhay, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3Many "Featured examples" are not showing results.

I made a Digg Search Engine.

- DiFFeReNT, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Heads up - Adblock blocks the entire search engine
