You can create a CSE on the fly using the MakeCSE tool. Provide the URL of a page that has a bunch of hyperlinks and MakeCSE will extract the links, construct a CSE, and provide you the search results instantly. As the links on the page change, the CSE is automatically updated.

A CSE for your blog. Try out this Blogger widget that searches your Blogger blog and blogrolls automatically.

A CSE that uses our XML API within Google App Engine allows you to save search results or email them to friends and manage them in personalized lists. Here's a screenshot from the UXFind application:

CSE for bookmarked URLs that have a particular tag on del.icio.us, for example, http://delicious.com/tag/photography?setcount=100.

CSE 'for searching pages with links'. This would be great for webpages that have a lot of links, such as the directory category pages on the Open Directory Project website.

CSE that searches across URLs that your friends are embedding in their Twitter messages.
