Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : SEO / SEM Discussions : Does the Google Adsense Site Search Differ from Google Custom Search?

[lexington]

Hello, I have been using the Google Adsense search form on my site and the search results are very limited. I see sites like Myspace use the Google Search engine and the results are much more accurate. I assume that they use this Google Service for this?

Basically I want to replace the huge phpBB search DB with Google so I wanted to make sure that I have the right one from Google so that users will not have trouble locating specific content on my site.

I think you have limited your adsense for search to selected region or country. Check you adsense for search settings by logging on to your account.

The google custom search is also designed to allow you to put in a range of websites to search against. URLs/sites that you want your users to search through. This is great if you have many sites that are somewhat related (say automotive).
