Creating a Programmable Search Engine for your Site

To create a Programmable Search Engine:

  1. Sign into Control Panel using your Google Account (get an account if you don't have one).

  2. In the Sites to search section, add the pages you want to include in your search engine. You can include any sites you want, not just the sites you own. You can include whole site URLs or individual pages URLs. You can also use URL patterns.

  3. The name of your search engine will be automatically generated based on the URLs you select. You can change this name at any time.

  4. Select the language of your search engine. This defines the language of the buttons and other design elements of your search engine, but doesn't affect the actual search results.

  5. Click Create.

  6. Select the search engine name from the Edit Search Engine dropdown and click Setup.

  7. Copy the Search engine ID.
