Find Exactly What You're Looking for With Google's Custom Search Feature
If you find yourself searching the same sites and using the same criteria over and over, you can simplify things and save yourself a lot of time by using Google’s Custom Search.
The feature, which can be found here, started as a service to give webmasters the ability to embed a Google search box that searches their webpage. But even if you don’t have a site you need to index, search, and serve ads against, Google Custom Search can be a powerful tool for any workflow that queries the internet.
If you’re familiar with Google’s search operators such as “site:” and “filetype:”, Google Custom Search basically sets up a search that appends those predefined criteria to whatever you type in a box. The feature gives that box a page and a unique URL. There’s a lot of repetitive searches that can be streamlined, and for the most part, the obvious ones already exist.
