Google also has free custom search engine that can be implemented on the site. But it is primarily targeted towards individual websites and blogs. Google Site Search is the paid version targeted towards businesses and enterprise site search.
Advantages of using Google Site Search
- Unlike Custom Search Engine, Google does not place ads on the Site Search results pages. So your users will not be distracted away.
- You can add refinement label to your search results. So your users can click on the labels to get more focused results.
- You can place subscribed links above search results for specific queries. This feature can be used to promote an event or product.
- You can add synonyms and acronyms to improve search results.
- You can add date bias to add weight to your newer content. For example, a news site would prefer to show recent articles first.
- You can add priority to certain section of your site such as top products. These results will appear first.
- You can add sitemap to Google Webmaster tools and Google Site Search will include these pages in search results even if these pages are not part of Google index.
