(Original )Information
What do you like best about Google Custom Search?

Google Custom Search is a powerful tool that allows website owners to create a custom search engine for their site using Google's search technology. It enables users to add a search box to their website, which can be used to search through specific content.

The main advantage is that it provides highly relevant and accurate search results using the same algorithms and techniques as Google's main search engine.

It is also easy to set up and customise. Website owners can choose which pages or sections of their site to include in the search results, and they can also customise the look and feel of the search box and search results page to match their site's branding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Custom Search?

The main limitation is that it only searches the content within the specific website or domains the user specifies, so it doesn't provide results from the entire web. Also, it is not a free service, and there are fees associated with certain usage levels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Custom Search solving and how is that benefiting you?

It solves the problem of limited or ineffective website search functionality by providing a customisable search engine tool that delivers relevant and accurate search results to users. This benefits website owners by improving the user experience and helping visitors find the information they need more efficiently, which can lead to increased engagement, satisfaction, and loyalty.

What do you like best about Google Custom Search?

> Speed of search- It's fast

Google search UI inside your website- It is responsive (works fine across all devices)

> Advanced search functions: autocomplete, spell check, derivation, synonyms. These are not advanced search functions, but basic ones. Except for synonyms, Google Custom Search has all of these.

> Custom results ranking: Google’s default ranking is not good enough? Depends. Sometimes u want to show your own preferred results on top not what google wants.

Some more Best things are :

1. It is free up to a certain limit.

2. Good for smaller websites with lesser search traffic.

3. Google’s crawler is pretty robust

4. Good for SEO purposes.

5. Good documentation.

6. Good analytics.

7. Control panel with a lot of features to control search results.

I love its feature and analytics, business strategy in Google Custom Search

Thank You Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Custom Search?

Restrictions: Google Custom search restricts you to a maximum of 10,000 search requests per day. ContextualWeb provides you unrestricted access.

Limitations: Google custom search allows you to index at most 10 websites. ContextualWeb allows you to index as many websites as you like. It doesn’t charge you for the number of websites.

Some more dislike things are :

No support.

It is google’s index- you have not to control over when stuff gets indexed.

Google is known for closing their products. They might just turn off their API if they don’t make enough money out of it.

You need to add a search query for every page or article.

If you not add it then the custom search will not work fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Custom Search solving and how is that benefiting you?

Every Keyword Search Problem solved by Google Custom Search like as eager for something, motivational, and helpful for everything.

It depends on how you use the tool. For me, it is one of the most useful SEO tools even if I use it only in a limited way:

I use if for finding keywords with a decent number of impressions and some kind of SEO ranking. Next, I simply improve the content in order to rank even better for those keywords.

When I add new pages or change the structure of the site, I enter the URL to be crawled and indexed by Google. Using this, the new pages are indexed almost instantly.

Having a look at the Search Console’s keyword data gives me always new ideas for content. I have found the long-tail queries with questions especially interesting sources of ideas. Have a look at How to feed your content marketing machine with Google Analytics for even more ideas.

For technical web analytics, the Search console is an indispensable tool. I’m sure someone else will write about the benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Custom Search?

Extremely easy to use, not only does it let you customize what you want to see, but it also provides a highly quality search result. In addition, it is free to a certain extent, as there is a subscription based model for additional quality of life features. Gaining large popularity due to google presence around the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Custom Search?

While the tool is free to a certain extent, there are ads that get populated on your screen unless you opted into the pay subscription model. There are other competitors/alternatives to google custom search such as AdSearcher, Elastic Site Search, and Lineate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Custom Search solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest benefit of using google custom search is the vast amount of sites in it index. Other benefits could include, but are not limited to; generating the most relevant sites, advanced search, and a variety of file formats. The problem google custom search is trying to solve is querying the highest quality search result in a fast, and seamless manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
