This week we made Custom Search Engines in Google. This was an interesting activity... like a blend of a directory (hand-picked and reviewed websites for a topic) and a keyword-based search engine. One of the features of the CSE is that you can add a website, and Google will automatically add sites linked to that website in the search. So not all sites are reviewed, but they are more hand-picked than just searching Google's basic index. I tried it a couple of times. The first time I literally tweaked it to death. After playing with settings and adding more sites, it finally just stopped giving me any results at all. Poor thing.... So then I created a new one and learned to leave well enough alone. It was working beautifully.
