Google Inc. announced the launch of Google Site Search, a paid hosted service that provides quality search to any website with the flexibility of cloud computing. The service allows site owners to quickly implement search functionality that is familiar and useful to their visitors.

Google Site Search offers:

• Enhanced index coverage: comprehensive search results on any website by crawling and indexing more content, even pages deep within a site;
• Synonyms: website owners can add their own custom synonym dictionary (a search for [cd] would include [certificate of deposit] in search results);
• Date biasing: site owners can influence search results based on the age of documents (e.g., a recent product datasheet is weighted more heavily than older product documents);
• Top results biasing: specific sections of the site (such as the product catalog) appear at the top of search results;
• Full customization of the look & feel: site owners can fully customize the search results interface to integrate with the unique look and feel of their sites.
