A mistake I made when developing a website only to find that EVERY indie website developer makes . You think with visual basic and some simple line of code would take your website of the ground? Think again. Here's one mistake I opennly admit that I've made, only to find that Google is serious about their line of work.
During the late 90s, when I was around 13 or 14, I was amazed with how lines of code can build a website but when it comes down to ideas, I didn't have any. Now in 2014, I still have no ideas, so I still went around conception what I could do with the code and the potential I have.
The common and popular idea people have is to gather ideas from those big companies with those big ideas. So here's the (terrible) idea I had. Let's make a webpage with a search bar and button and have that page link to Google's search results and program everything to make search easier..
So I went and tried it, I even went online and searched on how to get the code for it to try and get a search engine running on my website, because I'm not that good at coding at the moment, only to find an online forum where people are asking the question on how to get a search engine running on their website.
That's not even the end. I went and found that Google has provided something like that for other websites. They've provided a service where you can have a Google bar onto your website or to search any other website in greater detail, which can be found here: https://www.google.com/cse/all
Google clearly thought about this and seen what's heading their way. I have to admire the fact that Google have thought about it, so it does make me wonder how far Internet Search has gone into and why Google wants to share the idea of providing a custom search engine. (not money)
A matter of fact, why do people follow Google to get this idea and information? Why not Yahoo or Bing? People go straight to Google! (saying this out of embarrassment). We're all going to Google, so clearly Google is making the most out of it people heading their way.
As Google provides such a feature, they also provide a service where you can have you own and even run it aswell, they even pay you if you opted up to purchase and make money out of it, with ad streams, if you are willing go that far into getting the custom search engine.
