Create a Google Custom Search Engine for your Website

You start by following the link http://www.google.com/coop/manage/cse/create/1
If you are already logged in to your account, you can proceed right away, otherwise you have to login first.

In the next screen you have to fill in some information, most of it speaks for itself.

At Search engine name: put in the name je want for the search engine on your site.

As for Search engine description: here you can write a fitting description for you custom search engine.

Now at Search engine keywords: here you are beginning to tweak the results and optimize them for you visitors...hte keywords you put in here are taken into account to determine more relevant search results example "Joomla" or even "Joomla seo"

The next items are the Sites to search, here you fill in the websites that should have priority in the results of your search.

Now we come to the option to search just these sites, or the whole Internet.
My preference is the whole Internet, because otherwise I would impose my preferences to much.

Further more you have an option to let other people work with you to put in more preferred sites into the URLs section..

And af course you have to agree to the Terms of Service.

If you click "next" you are ready.....that is with the creation of you special search engine.
