With our launch of
Linked Custom Search Engines
(CSEs) we made it possible for developers to
construct CSEs on the fly
.
Using the
Custom Search APIs
, you can now dynamically construct CSEs, and Google will automatically update and maintain them for you.
You may already know how you can use our APIs to create innovative search-enabled applications. Today, we're delivering a Google Search widget for
Blogger
built using the
AJAX Search API
. Configure this widget on your Blogger blog to immediately search not just your blog posts, but across all the link lists/blogrolls you've set up on your blog and the links you've made from your posts -- in other words, the world around your blog!
Try out the Search Box widget at Blogger's experimental site,
draft.blogger.com
. Once you've logged in and configured the widget, visitors to your blog will see a search box there. The search experience inherits your blog's look and feel, and is uniquely flavored around pages you've linked to from your blog.
To add the widget:
Edit your blog's layout.
Click on "Add a page element", and configure the "Search Box" widget.
Your link lists will automatically show up as optional tabs for your search; you can decide which ones you want to configure.
Preview the search experience and save your changes. Your blog is instantly custom-search-enabled.
If you're not using Blogger, you can still
use our AJAX Search API
to put Linked CSEs on your website.
Let us know what you think
, and what CSE-enabled applications you're working on.
