Hey Folks
Now, I'd love to share with you the method to add Google Custom Search Engine to Blogger Blog/any other Website, which is the Best one available (according to me!), for your Blog or website.
In the below image, see the Google Custom Search Engine, that I'm currently using in my blog:
WHAT IS IT?
Well, it's a Search Box, that'll be added to your Blogger Blog / your website, where your viewers can search through your Website & find what they need, from the articles.
WHY IS GOOGLE CUSTOM SEARCH BEST?
Well According to me, Google Custom Search is very good for any webmaster, who wants to add a Search Box at his place, due to a few reasons, as mentioned below:
1. You'll harness the Quality & Power of Google by adding that. I mean, it'll be like your viewer is searching through Google, but the Search Results will only be from your website, isn't it cool.
Also, Google Search is magnificent. It'll not only give results from titles, but also through description, which is very good & every other feature of Google Search will also be available for your Blog.
2. You'll have a lot of options to edit the design, not only of the Search Box itself, but also the results it displays. Google really, has put up a very advanced interface to personalize/customize the Search Box that you'll have, according to your needs.
You can also have a separate "Image" Section, in the Search results.
Note: I guess, this Search Box might not work on websites/ webspages that are not shown in Google Search Index or haven't yet been crawled by Google Bot.
LET'S ADD IT
So why wait now, let's roll & add the powerful Search Box, in our Blogger Blog or any other website:
As I said, Everything has been explained according to the new Google Custom Search Engine control Interface.
1. Visit www.google.com/cse/
2. Login with your Google Account, or create a new one, if you need.
3. See Option like "New search engine" or "Add" & click on it, to create a New Search Box.
4. After that add the sites, you want that Search Engine to work with, one by one, in the format as mentioned below:
www.example.com.
Notice, no "http://" in the format.
Select the language & proceed to the next step, by Clicking on "Create" Button.
5. Then you'll have created your Search Engine. You can do various editing in it, in the "Edit Search Engine" section or you can simply use Google's Defaults.
The various Edits include the colors & Design of Search Box, the Design of query Results, etc. I may not explain them for now. It's not a very Big Deal to edit it, but if you are unable to do it, you can see the Google's Help Section & do a Google Search.
Also, you can add comment under this post, to ask me a question.
6. Remember, we have created a Search Engine, but haven't added that to our site, let's Finish the work now.
You'll need to get code for the Search Engine now, to do it, Simply see the "Look & Feel" Section on the Left-Hand side of the page, under "Edit your Search Engine".
Click on "Save & Get code."
You'll then get the code. After that, just copy it all & paste it as Html/Javascript Widget in your Blogger blog.To know how how to add Html/Javascript to Blogger Blog, see the following post of mine:

To add it to any other website, use the html Codes, where you wanna add the Search engine on your Website.
