A new and easy way to add new pages to your Custom Search Engine’s index
Tuesday, January 24, 2012
Our users have been telling us that while they love the concept of
on-demand indexing
, manually entering URLs or keeping a Sitemap up to date is too cumbersome. A new year brings a new and improved solution. If you are a
Webmaster Tools
verified site owner and have a page that links to your site’s latest content, simply provide us with that page’s URL and we will periodically visit it to discover your site’s new content.
For example, as the owners of this blog, we can provide the URL of the blog’s landing page, googlecustomsearch.blogspot.com, to our CSE. It will then periodically visit that URL and add any new links to content on this blog to our CSE’s index. Since this URL automatically links to all new content on this blog, our CSE’s index will always automatically get updated.
You can provide a URL(s) to your CSE via the
URLs linked from a page
feature in the
Indexing
page of your CSE’s
Control Panel
. Note that this feature is only for the discovery of new content and does not refresh content that has already been indexed.
To learn more about
URLs linked from a page

help center

discussion forum
