Google Custom Search Engine has launched a paid version for businesses. Chris Sherman explained that the features are all the same besides:
- You can customize the appearance of custom search engine using an XML API, which gives you more flexibility.
- You can turn off the ads.
- You get dedicated phone and email support.
- And you can remove the Google logo from the search results.
You can learn more about the business edition CSE and here are the features.
Chris Sherman details the pricing, which I cannot find on the Google site.
Google Custom Search Business Edition is available for $100 per year for sites up to 5,000 pages, $500 per year for up to 15,000 pages, and $15,000 or more for sites with a million or more pages. For smaller sites, businesses can sign up using a credit card for payment, and get a site search up and running quickly using a simple online interface.
