Google has a lot of free gadgets. Good stuff like Google Earth & Docs. But what Google is really good at is of course search. So, squeezing their search prowess in to a customizable gadget might be their best idea.

This idea would be of course Google Custom Search. I decided to give a try to make my own. It wasn’t that hard just a little time consuming. I often am searching for answers or new knowledge on recording and music production questions. I actually looked for a search engine customized for just that but did not find one. I usually am able to find what I am looking for but it takes some shifting through quite a bit of unrelated matter. As good as searching has become it still can’t tell the perspective you are searching from. Even a novice bedroom producer is most likely not going to be interested in how to use the Windows wave recorder or a digital voice record aimed at the executive on the go, etc. Or sometimes you just want knowledge on a topic and do not want to wade through a sea of links trying to sell you gear when you are not looking to buy anything. Often I just search a few sites I suspect will have what I am looking for. But it is better to search all of them at once. So, I created the custom search engine to do just that. I knew least I am going to use it. I hope that it will be useful to other people as well.
