Exchange and OCS Google custom search
Posted by Ståle Hansen on 07/08/2009
I have created a Custom Search engine using Google custom search. I have set it up to only search the sites, blogs and technical resources that I have specified. I will use this search engine when troubleshooting and finding useful information. The point is to remove all the unnecessary hits you get from using the regular search engine and make sure I get hits from the brightest bloggers out there.
I have tried to collect good blogs and resources for Exchange and OCS and have made a list of the sites that are added. Try it out and please let me know if there are sites that should be in the search engine and I’ll add them.

Stale, good work on the search engine. I’d highly recommend adding in the pointbridge guys as well, good stuff on many of their blogs. Thanks for adding me to the list as well!

I’ve moved my new content to http://blog.schertz.name, but keep the old URL in that last too as all my past OCS articles will stay online at PointBridge’s site as well.
