google custom search

Google today launched a business edition of Custom Search Engine, which enables businesses/individual to have “Google-quality results” on their site without any software or hardware (GSA/Google Mini) installation.

Features over the standard Custom Search Engine service:

  • Ad-free
  • XML API
  • Better branding/customization
  • Search statistics report

Sure, that doesn’t come in free for you, the service starts at $100/year for searching up to 5,000 pages and $500 for up to 50,000 pages. If your site goes over the limit, Google will contact you for an upgrade.
