Creating a search facility for your site
[Keyword: onlinejournalism]. Thanks again to the Search Engine Journal for pointing out Gigablast's new Dedicated Site Search and Custom Topic Search facilities. The Site Search facility enables you to add a search facility to your website - although it does need to be registered with the search engine.
The Custom Topic Search allows you to create a search box that will search up to 200 sites that you specify, so instead of just enabling users to search your site, you can instead provide them with the facility to search a specialist set of sites relating to your topic area - watch this blog for something along those lines.
Of course Gigablast isn't the only site to offer custom searches - Google offers the same service to non-profit institutions, to name one. If you know of any others, let me know.
