Image results now available from the Custom Search API
Tuesday, February 14, 2012
Last year we
added image results
to Google Custom Search Engines to enable sites to offer image-only results that showcase photos and other digital images. For site owners who want more flexibility in presentation, they are also now available from the
Custom Search API
.
Read more
about accessing Image Results from the Custom Search API or try it out in the
Custom Search API Explorer
. For billing purposes, image queries will be treated the same as web queries.
Note that you need to enable image search in your custom search engine control panel for the custom image search to work.

Businesses: share Google Site Search query quota between multiple engines
Thursday, February 2, 2012
Good news for
Google Site Search
owners who manage multiple Google Site Search engines! You can now share query quota between paid GSS and free Custom Search engines.
This may be useful for you if you pay for a quota with Google Site Search and you’d like to share that quota with your Custom Search engines. To do this, add those extra engines to a “business group” to share the quota.
To add CSEs to a business group, visit the Business Group page of your GSS’s Control Panel. Click Add and you’ll see a list of the free CSEs that you own or that have been shared with you. Select the free CSEs you wish to add and click OK. All group members will immediately share the quota of your GSS.
We hope you’ll find this much easier than trying to estimate your
quota
needs for each of your individual search engines. To learn more about Business Groups, please visit our
help center
