Build your own Google, using Google tools!

Oct 24, 2006 5:53AM PDT

Dear Buzz Out Loud Gang,
Hey people..okay I admit that I am a computer enthusiast but this is really cool. Google has released a beta of a tool that allows you to create a customizable search engine using the Google tools. It is really cool and really easy to do.

It is great for education institutions, small and large businesses, researchers as well as us folks in engineering.

By using the Google tools, you specific what criteria and how your search engine behaves. You can even create your own interface for your search engine.

This is a very powerful tool and gives Google another leg up on their competition.

Opinion: Hats off to Google for creating this tool.

That is my opinion, what's yours? Wink
