My Very Own Search Engine

Google Beta Google just launched a neat build-your-own-search-engine feature.  You can choose sites that should be emphasized in the search results, or even restrict search results to that list.

It offers a lot of customization, but I seemed to have run into a problem in which it doesn’t seem to be saving the images for my profile for some reason. 

One particularly neat feature is the ability to allow others to collaborate on the search engine.  For example, check out my search engine called Haack Attack the Web.  I entered a few .NET and software development focused websites to the list of sites to search, restricting results to just those sites.

Feel free to add your favorite websites to the search engine.  I think I’ll actually find this as a useful first stop for finding .NET content.

The next step is to integrate this into the search features for Firefox and IE7.  Anyone want to help?

I posted a sample on IE7 and Firefox integration for FogBugz that you may find helpful. Be sure to check out Michael Fagan's comment at the end to save yourself some work.

It looks a few of us did the same thing at the same time.

It displays your image fine - you just can't see it when viewing it as yourself ! Try viewing it with another browser that doesn't have the cookie set.
