By now, most folks in eCommerce have probably heard about Google’s new custom business search engine. From the announcement in the Official Google Blog:

Businesses spend a lot of effort and energy creating and promoting great websites for their products and services, but quality search is often missing. As a result, businesspeople often ask us why they can’t use Google to power search on their sites. Today we’ve released Custom Search Business Edition (CSBE) to do just that. CSBE is a hosted site search solution that provides Google-quality results for your website. It’s fast, relevant, reliable, and flexible, so that users can quickly find what they’re looking for through search results customized and integrated into your business website.

This is exciting news for anyone in eCommerce who is disappointed with their current search solution. With this newest service, businesses will be able to have their own customized search engine for $100-$500 dollars a year (depending on the amount of pages searched) and be able to offer a clean, reliable search to their customers. Like every new tool, however, it’s important to get as much information as you can before adding it to your site. We’re here to offer you links to some helpful information.
