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.

Sorry I don’t know how to embed the hyperlinks.

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

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

Al, if you can’t be arsed digging the links up I promise i can’t be bothered putting them in there.

What about the sites for all the Community Councils?

And what about a link to hospitals :

and for those that are really sick, there’s always :

Don’t forget http://www.allhomes.com.au for all of those poor home buyers and us property investors.

ack no!

muddy the queries with vast amounts of external information.

excellent!

The idea is to make it such a handy reference point for canberrans that it swells the numbers of our readers.

and what are we expecting to want to find?

I think you can manage your own searches for that sort of stuff.

What about a couple of links to the various sex shops. We are after all the porn capital of Australia?

While I realise there is nothing the bands of this town won’t destroy if it stands in the way of their self-promotion i’d just like to make clear I’m not spending my days putting band websites in there.

This is about finding information

and how could i forget!

SGS – Cardigan Collection?

sgs black and gold shoppers forum.
