I always thought I didn’t have enough control on my custom search. I’m glad they are pushing forward with this

I just started using Adsense for search last week and thought it could use some improvements. I’m glad they are doing this!

Sounds great, Darren. I just wish the look were a bit more customizable so it could fit in all blogs. More control is always good though, hopefully it increases earnings!

This is wonderful news. Perhaps a post on how to take advantage of this new development would be a good one.
Oops, I forgot about the Skribit widget on your sidebar. :P

I always wondered why Google didn’t merge the two so Adsense search could be a bit more customized. Thanks for heads up!

I just hooked up with it for one of my sites, but I couldn’t figure out how to set it up so people could either search just my site or the internet in general. There used to be that option; oh well,…

I’ve always had problems implementing a seach bar on my site, as I had mininal control over it and there weren’t many features. I’m glad they have updated they’re search bar, this is definitaly a step foward for AdSense for search.

Why are there no other ad publisher programs out there that can even come close to adsense?

Thanks for this info. I havent yet implement Adsense for search but does it pay as well as Asense for content? And would it detract users from clicking you Adsense for content?
