Custom Search for Salesforce Developers

Posted by: Ryan Pollock, Product Marketing

I recently met with Adam Gross, VP of Developer Relations at Salesforce.com, to hear how developer.salesforce.com uses Google Custom Search. The company is building a community and knowledge base for developers on its Apex platform, and needs a search engine across a variety of content sites, including blogs and wikis. Adam says that Custom Search Business Edition is ideal for their needs, since it's easy to search multiple sites and access search results through an XML API. From the time he learned about Custom Search Business Edition, Adam says it only took a few days to install and create a look and feel for search results that matches the rest of the site.

To hear the story in Adam's own words, check out this video.
