Google breathlessly announces a free custom search feature, where people can customize which sites are searched and even monetize the results.

Google links to an example at RealClimate, who’s using Custom Search to let users find information on climate change.
Matt Cutts offers an interesting take, indicating how this product could threaten vertical search engines who don’t “bring anything special” to their niche.
