Custom Google Search

How it works

Google search enables using many parameters, which can make the search request more efficient. User can specify not only the keyword or sentence, but also webpage, where to search (i.e. restrict search request to specified web or domain), language etc. On Google Advanced Search page you can see all the possible options.

The problem is, if you often use extensive options. Google does not enable to save the Advanced Search options. With Custom Google Seach you can set your own private parameters and save it for future use (free registration is required).
