Why add Google Custom Search to your blog:
1) You can track how quickly google indexes,
2) You can easily find broken links**,
3) A familiar search output for your visitors.

**-Example: I changed my url setting from page to post name and this broke many of my links.
**-It is suggested that you do not notify google to remove the links but instead use your hosts re-direct.


Vnertia.com recently launched google Custom Search on its MnAP (Music and Artist Page). I wanted a way to ensure my pages were being indexed by google and to see how my url links looked to the outside world. In addition, the custom search has proven to be a nice feature that helps vnertia visitors to find what they’re looking for.

Recent news indicates that due to the positive response for cse - Google will add new features and global support, resulting in even more growth.

To Quote “Now, the Custom Search platform is expanding further by simultaneously improving our indexing for your search engine and broadening our reach to power AdSense for Search. AdSense publishers can now create Custom Search Engines (CSEs) and take advantage of the most popular customization features right within their AdSense accounts.”

As you may know, Custom Search is built on top of the Google index, which means that pages that are available on Google.com are also available to your search engine. In addition, Custom Search now maintains its own index for enhanced coverage for web sites included in CSEs.

If you have pages that aren’t currently being indexed in Google.com, you can let google know about those pages by submitting a Sitemap through Webmaster Tools, and pages in your Sitemap that aren’t included in the Google index will be detected and indexed for your search engine. Improved index coverage is not instantaneous as it takes some time for the pages to be crawled and indexed. Please also note that this improved indexing only affects search results within the search engine you create, not your rank and indexing on Google.com.

AdSense has now been integrated into Google Custom Search.
