Curated search result with custom search engines

A friend of mine who’s also a newsletter writer once told me that when he’s interested in certain topic he would like to know the opinion of some of his favorite writers on the same topic. He would use Google to search something like discomfort site:sive.rs, and then expand his search across various authors he admires.

It turns out that Google’s programmable search engine does exactly that. By simply adding a few websites (much like subscribing to newsletters or RSS feeds), we can craft a search engine tailored just for us. The result? More signal, and less noise.

Therefore, I’ve created a listing site where users can share and explore custom search engines. Dive in and see if you may have fun with it https://searchcrafters.vercel.app/!
