GoogleBase: Make content that isnt online searchable

What is Google Base?

Google Base is a place where you can easily submit all types of online and offline content, which we'll make searchable on Google (if your content isn't online yet, we'll put it there). You can describe any item you post with attributes, which will help people find it when they do related searches. In fact, based on your items' relevance, users may find them in their results for searches on Froogle, Google Maps and even our main Google web search.

Cost: Free

How to Submit: You can submit information about all types of online and offline content to Google Base, by either the standard web form or, if you have more than 10 items to submit, via our bulk upload options. When you submit information via the web form, you can attach up to 15 digital files in the following formats: PDF (.pdf), Microsoft Excel (.xls), Text (.txt), HTML (.html), Rich Text Format (.rtf), Word Perfect (.wpd), ASCII, Unicode and XML. Please note: the files you upload may not exceed 20 megabytes total in size, and we reserve the right to review all items in order to ensure they comply with the Google Base Terms and Conditions.

Languages: Google Base is currently available in English and German interfaces.

Reach: Items you submit to Google Base might be found on Google properties like Google, Froogle, and Google Maps.

How it's different: Google Base enables you to add attributes describing your content, so that searchers can easily find it. The more popular individual attributes become, the more often we'll suggest them when others post the same items. Similarly, items that become more popular will show up as suggested item types in the Choose an existing item type drop-down menu.

Collarity: A Social Search Engine

Simple and Helpful Approach

Collarity begins a real time, two-way dialog to guide and optimize your search. As you begin typing, we provide relevant keyword suggestions and URLs via the Collarity Compass. The Compass contents instantaneously refresh with every change to the searchbox. To add one of the suggested Compass keywords, just point-and-click -- and it's automatically appended to your query.

Simple filtering is also available on the Compass. As you use the Slider, it refreshes real-time among three groups: Global, which includes all Collarity users; Community, which shows "like-minded" community users; and Personal, which is based on your previous search experience (And Personal is available only if you sign up, and are logged in).

Secret Sauce: 100% Participation

People learn from other people. Other social classification systems depend on tagging, rating, and bookmarking. Yet these systems can introduce new biases and inefficiencies of their own. Because there's an active minority defining what's good for the majority, a large number of user segments remain unrepresented.

With Collarity, every user is an information consumer and provider. Every user contributes to the benefit of every other user, and the collective intelligence of the whole is harnessed to improve the success of the individual. This happens naturally, and patterns are statistically created based on what's searched.

Custom Search Engine FAQ

What is a Custom Search Engine?

A Custom Search Engine is a tailored search experience, built using Google's core search technology, which prioritizes or restricts search results based on websites and pages that you specify, and which can be tailored to reflect your point of view or area of expertise.

How does the Custom Search Engine work?

Simply submit websites or pages you'd like to include in your search engine index. You can choose either to restrict your search results to include only these pages and sites, or simply to give these pages and sites higher priority and ranking in the larger Google index. Once you've defined your search engine index, Google will give you a simple piece of code for a search box to place on your site or blog. You'll then have the option to choose various customization options to make the look and feel and functionality of your search engine your own.

What can I do with my Custom Search Engine? What customization options are available?

Apply your website's look and feel to the search results page.

Make money from your Custom Search Engine by participating in Google's AdSense program.

Provide search refinements within results pages to make it easier for searchers to find the information they're looking for.

Incrementally add sites to your search engine's index as you surf the web.

Invite friends and trusted users to co-edit and contribute to your search engine.

Why is Google launching this?

Google's mission is to connect people to information - no matter how specialized or specific - as quickly as possible. The Custom Search Engine allows you to combine Google's search algorithm with your own expertise to create a customized experience - thus making access to specific information across the web easier for your users.
