What do you like best about Google Custom Search?

-Auto-correct feature:- It automatically detects possible typos and provides a relevant alternative search term in its place.

-Multiple Admins:- you'll be able to add multiple admin accounts to collaborate on your computer program by simply inviting them using their e-mail addresses connected to their Google accounts. Max:- 200 allowed

-Custom Ranking:- Custom Ranking relies on three things:- Keywords, Weighted Labels, and scores.

1)Keyword:- it's a fast way of boosting certain websites in your search results and getting more search results in a few particular subjects.

2)Weighted Labels:- It tells the custom search whether to exclude, promote, or demote a site counting on the weights that you just apply to the labels.

3)Scores:- Scores are applied to individual annotations to temper or reverse the influence of the weighted labels.

-Easy Installation:- Google Custom Search is incredibly easy to customize, install, and at last set it au fait your Cpanel.

-Analytics:- it's very easy to attach Google CSE with Google Analytics, thus enabling highly in-depth analytical reporting.

-Font Style in Search Results:- The font style within the search results may also be changed by choosing from a menu.

-Image Search Layout:- you'll choose the format you favor for results of image search done using the tool.

-Less Load On Your Server:- If you’re on a self-hosted website or blog, using the server optimally and ensuring that the server gets as less load as possible, is extremely important but By installing Google Custom Search on your site, all the search queries that your site gets, shall be processed in Google’s servers. This shall not only decrease the load on your website’s server but also will increase the speed at which the search results are displayed on your website, to an excellent extent.

-Autocomplete Suggestions:- Autocomplete works on three things:- Included, Excluded, and Excluded patterns. This algorithm helps the servers to convey the most effective results associated with the subject searched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Custom Search?

- Ads from Competitors are displayed frequently.

- There is no dedicated customer support for free. To opt for customer service 24x7, we have to shell out a lot of money, and that's painful for small businesses.

- Because of Slow Indexing, whenever a new post has been added to the blogs, it takes a few hours for google to index it and ready to be searched.

- Google custom search restricts you to index only 25 Domain names still the databases of google is very huge which has more than 72B English web pages indexed already.

- There is a restriction of 10000 search requests per day which is very much less. Competitors like dash have unrestricted search access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There are many issues that this Google custom search solves. Some areas below:-

- There is now a website to custom search all project and research-related work on scholar.google.com but previously there was no specific page to do that and at that time this google custom search came very handly to users.

-Reliability on google servers can be made by companies as their server uptime is almost 100% and because of the size of company they are, they have great customer-oriented support that they are giving.

- In companies, there are many things that are created or developed but there are not published well and it got failed. but because of great customer service and the best indexing feature, you can get your development listed on google in the easiest way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If we do directly search from Google by using automation program, it works not consistently. Sometimes it could get denial of too many requests. Then we tried to switch to the Google Custom Search.
