Custom Search Engines(CSEs) enable you to create Google-powered customized search experiences for your sites. You can
search over one or more sites, customize the look and feel to match your site, and even make
money withAdSense for Search.
Now it's even easier to get started directly fromWebmaster Tools.
If you've never created a CSE, just click on the "Custom Search" link in the Labs section and
we'll automatically create a default CSE that searches just your site. You can do some basic
configuring or immediately get the code snippet to add your new CSE to your site. You can always
continue on to the full CSE control panel for more advanced settings.
Once you've created your CSE (or if you already had one), clicking the "Custom Search" link in
Labs will allow you to manage your CSEs without leaving Webmaster Tools.
We hope these new features make it easier for you to help users search your site. If you have any
questions, please post them in ourWebmaster Help Forumor theCustom Search Help Forum.
