Watch Out for Google Custom Site Search (aka google.com/cse)

Post by jack_indigo »

I just wanted to pass on that Google Custom Site Search is still very much beta. The control panel often forgets settings, there's a well-known bug that your site won't be indexed properly if you fill out the "keywords" field when building the search engine, and if your domain name ends in .info, it's broke.

But if you don't fill out the "keywords" field when building the custom search, and you do it against a .com site, it appears to work quite well.

Hope this helps.

I have used cse, and loved it. http://raleigh.jerrysartaramastores.com/ for an example of it in use.
