Google Custom Search enables you to create a search engine for your website, your blog, or a collection of websites. You can configure your search engine to search both web pages and images.There are two main use cases for Custom Search - you can create a search engine that searches only the contents of one website (site search), or you can create one that focuses on a particular topic from multiple sites.

• Create custom search engines that search across a specified collection of sites or pages 
• Enable image search for your site 
• Customize the look and feel of search results, including adding search-as-you-type autocompletions

• Associate your search engine with your Google AdSense account, so you make money whenever users click ads on your search results pages.
