People search aggregators are all the rage! But can you replicate some of that cool search technology yourself?  By using a Google Custom Search Engine you just might be able to. Join Mark to find out how you can build a Google CSE on your own, how to alter the code to get MORE results, and how to focus your Google CSE on sites that people search aggregators use.

Google CSEs let you create search strings that go far beyond the limits of Google’s regular search. They also let you target specific parts of a website for more refined results. And they help you get around the 32-keyword limit that Google’s regular search has.

The documentation on Google CSE’s is very sparse.  But this session will show you all the tricks and searches that you can create with a Google CSE. Imagine creating your own version of Google that searches what YOU want.  You’ll also get ideas and examples that you can implement on your own. These include the strings and methodology behind the sourcing aspect of the Custom Search Engine. If you want to up your sourcing and technology street-cred, then this is for you!  Not for the faint of heart!
