What is Reddit's opinion of
Google Custom Search Engine?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
➔ Google Custom Search Engine website
By popularity on Reddit, this Service is:
40 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
Google provides this. They call it Google Custom Search Engine. Here are a few reasons Reddit might not be doing this:
- Depending on the structure of the content it can be hard for Reddit to get it set up to search what you want it to search (IE maybe they want it to be able to search comments but the comments aren't stored in a way that makes sense to the Google Custom Search)
- To use Google Custom Search you need to allow them to run ads on the search results page, which a) Can look tacky and b) can take visitors away from Reddit which decreases Reddit's page views.
- Reddit is open source and many open source projects hesitate or even forbid including closed source software as part of their open source code.
- Reddit may be uncomfortable with Google getting the information it knows Google collects from Custom Search.
There are other reasons but those are a good place to start to see why it isn't as simple as dropping in a turn-key solution like this.
Edit: Pay attention to /u/universl he knows what the fuck he is talking about.
Almost every resource I can think of for torrenting textbooks.
Also: Google search for ebooks. Not recommended if you aren't too good at discerning which websites are trustworthy and which files are actually ebooks.
The Draconomicon and Dragon Magic books for 3.5 were quite good in this respect, they focused a lot on Draconic society and culture, as well as adding a bunch of supporting mechanics.
Races of the Dragon added a bunch more stuff about dragons, with an emphasis on how they interact with other species.
Although you may not have all the flavour text, the feats, classes, spells, and items in these books can give you a pretty good sense of what the designers had in mind for draconic society.

Custom search of all of those sites: https://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=000661023013169144559:a1-kkiboeco
This usually lets you get past the search blocks on Google for pdfs and djvu's of textbooks. It works a lot better if you don't want to carry the books around.
I got you buddy: http://www.4shared.com/file/0ZXuHDcJ/introduction_to_set_theory_3ed.html
If you ever need any other books, use this search function because money for books could be spent on booze:

Planet sysadmin, which is a blog aggregator, and a custom google for it.
Also lots of subs, /r/sysadmin,/r/linuxadmin,/r/networking, /r/powershell, /r/sccm etc. Go explore more tech subs

what do you think? I think it's better than the reddit one... but it's up to you guys.. if you like it I will put more effort into it.
there is a really comprehensive list (albeit from two years ago) on that reddit post. quick link for custom search engine for ebooks with some of those trackers, for the lazy.
You can manually set up a custom google search. It's very easy. From Chrome: just right click each site's search field and select 'Add as a search engine'. Then copy the URL field and add it as an engine in the custom google search. I'm sure there is a similar way to do this in firefox.
If you want to only search specific sites, you can create a custom search engine with Google Custom Search:
You simply add all the domains or specific pages you want to include to your search engine, and any searches will be restricted to those URLs.
Very interesting stuff!
Does anybody have a working example using the Schema.org Markup with Google Custom Search? This is our code right now:
<section class="grid_3 omega widget same-height-right" style="height: 224px;"> <div id="c290902" class="csc-default"> <a id="c278724"></a> <h2 class="title csc-header">Haben Sie Fragen? </h2> <div> <div class="holder"> <p class="bodytext"><br>Einfach einen Begriff in das Suchfeld eingeben und sofort themenrelevante Ergebnisse erhalten!</p> </div> <div class="box_content"> <div id="cse-search-form"> <form id="cse-search-box" action="/suche/q.php"> <input type="hidden" value="017002835581306790937:802l7atpqxs" name="cx"> <input type="hidden" value="UTF-8" name="ie"> <input id="googleSearchField" type="text" size="31" name="q" style="background: url("https://www.google.com/cse/images/google_custom_search_watermark.gif") no-repeat scroll 50% 50% transparent;"> <input class="btn" type="submit" value="Suchen" name="sa"> </form> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section>
Thanks!
Edit: formatting
Here's a search engine I just created, it searches three erotic literature sites so far. Just include this in the search bar:(wife|housewife|cheerleader)
Off the top of my head I could only remember three sites, If you know of any more tell me and i'll include it into the search engine.
Oh my god I found it after hours of looking! This google custom search link needs to be more known! :) Thanks to /u/Manwithoutmodem for the link and saving me 150$

You aren't stupid or pathetic. You're tired and stressed and have leftover issues from an extraordinarily shitty parent.
You're having a bad few days (or weeks), things will pick up. Your professors sound patient in the way a good and normal person should be. They might've gotten a bit flustered as you settled in, but none of them would ever, ever say you're pathetic or stupid. That's cruel and untrue.
I'm here to vent to if you'd like, and here's a link you might find helpful if you can get refunds on whichever books you find there. Every bit helps. :]
You're smart and deserving and the fact that you're in the top brackets of society (anyone who gets into college) shows how not-pathetic you are. You got this. ^^
This might be of use. Anyway, it is difficult to properly evaluate this type of things beforehand because past users are either real believers (think scientology meets Herbalife) or really embarrassed to have spent lots of money in such stupid stuff. Source: I paid lots of money for a "Photoreading" course years ago :/
Ya know... you might try calling around to local companies.. see if they've got a spare, or extra, or one with a fairly scratched dome (they get beat up by lots of site assessors putting htem in and out of bags.) Then they get piled up in a forgotten corner of the warehouse.
That might be your best bet - ebay was running ~$300 (although currently one for $200, but that's still a lot) and craigslist - I tried briefly, but I'm not sure if there's a way to search all ofcraigslist at once... wait... I found this way to search all of craigslist at once, but it doesn't turn up anything current.. You could just do weekly checks on that.
Or there's this place called reddit, and someone on the solar "sub-reddit" there might have one for you, though I do not.
Good Luck!
Two options:
You can create a Google Custom Search engine, where you specify all the pages you want to include in your search. You can even use wildcards in your URLs, like "www.domain.com/*philosoph*", to search all pages on the domain that have "philosoph" somewhere after the slash, which matches philosophy, philosophical, etc.
You download all the pages using HTTrack, and then use Docfetcher to index the site locally, or simply do an indexed search in Windows, or a grep search in Linux.
I think I might have it figured out:
<div id="cse-search-form"> <form itemprop="potentialAction" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/SearchAction" id="cse-search-box" action="/suche/q.php"> <meta itemprop="target" content="http://www.cardelmar.de/suche/q.php?cx=017002835581306790937%3A802l7atpqxs&ie=UTF-8&q={q]&sa=Suchen"/> <input type="hidden" value="017002835581306790937:802l7atpqxs" name="cx"> <input type="hidden" value="UTF-8" name="ie"> <input itemprop="query-input" id="googleSearchField" type="text" size="31" name="q" style="background: url("https://www.google.com/cse/images/google_custom_search_watermark.gif") no-repeat scroll 50% 50% transparent;"> <input class="btn" type="submit" value="Suchen" name="sa"> </form> </div>
What do you think? Does this work?
I forgot to add this but if you want to make searching for forensics information easier check out this custom Google search Here
My pleasure. I'm happy to help. The textbook pricing and bookstore buyback racket is sinister. I spent countless (because I no longer hold the receipts) dollars on textbooks for my first degree. It's been nice to save a couple hundred in the pursuit of the second one.
This is a link to a comprehensive and legendary textbook-extraordinary-rendition resource, enjoy.
Perhaps one of the easiest and most useful resources within that comment is this custom Google search.
The front end language won't matter too much. You're probably into a database problem where you should do some research on databases, full text search engines, and generally how to write your own search engine.
They consist of a number of parts, so you're not going to get a simple "use X" answer.
There are a lot of prewritten solutions as well, like https://www.google.com/cse/ . So consider those before reinventing the wheel.
I've got a MX17 R2 5800 sitting on my floor waiting to be fixed, and I did find a full guide somewhere. Can't seem to find it now though.
I would say you probably can with the 14, just search the hackintosh communities for the wifi and ethernet drivers. Multibeast could probably get you quite far as well.
Installing a linux distro like Ubuntu or Mint will be much easier than getting this running to be honest. Im not sure how recently you've tried a distro, but they are a lot more friendly than they used to be.
I remember this comparison. As a Fedora user that used to run Gnome, but, now runs KDE, this is what I was used to on the FedoraForum:
BTW - I don't think the Gnome devs will listen, they know better than us, right?
Wait until you KNOW you need it. Don't buy from Rutgers, Barnes and noble or NJ books. Look on Amazon.
Also there's this. I found 3 of my textbook online already this way for free. It's a custom search engine that finds pdfs and downloads for your textbook. Made just for the college audience.

if you are using Google Custom Search on your website, you can customize your search box using "look and feel" in CSE settings.but you can not change everything what you want..but now its possible with this default css file.ex:you can change search button size and position/you can remove google place holder from search box etc.this code will remove background from your search box.use google api to learn more about Google Custom Search Engine.
A year+ ago someone compiled this custom google search that runs through a ton of different websites that may have PDFs. I run mine and my friends textbooks through it every semester and its usually pretty good at turning up results. I'd link to the post to thank the guy but I can't find it atm.
Found this is a thread on university books a while ago! Found a lot of books for my course on here. It's basically a search engine that uses a load of other search engines for getting books https://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=000661023013169144559:a1-kkiboeco CHECKIT
Try this. It is a function of google (basically a specialized search for primary sources. Not sure if it will only give articles or what.) You should also check your library's website, most colleges have a subscription to JSTOR and other source material search engines that will help you in your search. Hope this helps
What's odd is I have trouble finding it on the amazon site. I usually start here instead. Once you click on a list, on the far right hand side at the bottom of the box that says More Listmania! it also says Search Listmania! and you can keep going that way. Hope that made some sense.
I think you may want to consider having the actual search look a bit more doge :), and at the same time, I believe you can pay google a little and have the ads bring you revenue.
food for thought.
Using this here: https://www.google.com/cse/
I will generate revenue from google adsense. I have some good domains in mind for specific popular niches of what people would want to search for.
Each domain would cost $10 dollars for the year.
I made this one that searches all serato djs playlists for a song.. I usually type in 3 songs I play a bunch and see what other djs play the same style as me.
https://www.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=002607550969511999816:s-fgiq-p1_q
I've whipped together a search engine that searches l.autohotkey.net (new docs), autohotkey.com (forum), and ahkscript.org (new forum) all at once. https://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=017058124035087163209:pgfb0yypcok
Except that when properly implemented, Google Custom Search Engine will return results only for the site in question. It's like having a mini-Google for the site. What's wrong with that? Other than the ads, of course.
