Yahoo! Search Blog announced yesterday the availability of Yahoo! Search Builder. This is a new tool, with which you can create a custom Web search engine by selecting a set
of trusted sites to search across or you can tune the search algorithm to the
topic of your choice. Beyond Web search, Search Builder includes Site search
and News search.
Then you should generate the code you’ll need to add your search engine
to your site. You also have control over the look and feel of the search box
and search results page.
Yahoo! has created a basic suite of tools to help you understand your search traffic. With the popular
search module, you’ll discover hot searches your users are interested in. With
user and traffic reports, you’ll be able to monitor the growth of your search
engine.In the blog post Yahoo! urged users to provide comments and feedback on what new features they would like to have. To build your own search engine, visit http://builder.search.yahoo.com/m/tune?flow=1.
