Site search gets supplemental
Wednesday, February 21, 2007
Posted by: Patrick Riley, Software Engineer
One of the common uses of Custom Search Engines is to provide site search. A number of users have suggested that we can improve Custom Search for this application by also including
supplemental results
in Custom Search Engine's results. We put fewer constraints on what pages go into our supplemental index and therefore there are many pages which are available only there. This is our first step to give you more results. If your search engine operates as a filter and has three sites or less or your search engine includes the whole web, you'll get
supplemental results
as well. For example, take a look at the
Hanayama Puzzle Store
search engine I've created. Hanayama makes some great puzzles, but they aren't always so easy to find. The queries "
hanayama baroq
" (possibly my favorite puzzle of all time) and "
hanayama laby
" only return supplemental results in this search engine. Check out the
FAQ entry about supplemental results
for more information.
