A custom search for Canberra

25 October 2006 | johnboy

Google have just launched a Custom search facility. PC World have a story explaining how it works.

But Google Custom Search Engines, unlike Google Free, don’t make you choose between searching one site or the entire Web–when you create one, you specify how many (or few) sites get searched. If you love movies and have 26 favorite movie related sites, for instance, your Google Custom Search Engine might provide results from just those sites.

I’m looking to set up a Canberra centric search box here, what sites would you like to see included?

Just leave your suggestions in the comments.

I suspect act.gov.au should cover it Fiona but could you check to see for me?

Fiona4:37 pm 25 Oct 06

Do the subdomains of the act govt need to be included separately? Or can it just be included as act.gov.au?
