What is AdSense for search?
AdSense for search is for publishers who wish to provide web search for their users, directly from any webpage. AdSense for search results pages use Google's search to provide relevant results, and the search results pages are customizable to fit with your site's theme. In addition, results pages are monetized with Google ads that are targeted to the user's query - providing useful information for the user, and a new revenue stream for publishers.

What does it mean to display search results within my own site?
When you display AdSense for search results within your site, the results of a user search performed in your AdSense for search box will appear within a frame on your own page. This means that rather than users being taken to Google, they will stay on your site, while still having access to the useful information provided through Google web search.To display search results within a page on your site, review our entry How do I implement AdSense for search results on my own page?
Can I show ads on AdSense for search results pages in my own site?

What is the Custom Search Engine?
The Custom Search Engine is a tailored search experience that prioritizes or restricts search results based on websites and pages that you specify. Similarly to AdSense for search, you can use your Custom Search Engine to make revenue by placing a search box on your site and monetizing the search results. Searches performed on your site through the Custom Search Engine will be reported in your AdSense account just like searches through your AdSense for search box. In addition, many AdSense for search features will work identically for the Custom Search Engine, including the competitive ad filter. Whether you should use a Custom Search Engine or AdSense for search depends on which features you'd prefer to have available to you. The Custom Search Engine provides greater control in tailoring your search experience, along with the features detailed on their website. Alternatively, AdSense for search offers you greater flexibility in using custom channels and reporting, including the use of multiple channels. Keep in mind that ads and advertising revenue work the same for both Custom Search Engines and AdSense for search.To monetize your Google Custom Search Engine through the AdSense program, you need to connect your Google Co-op account to an AdSense account.You can link the accounts by visiting your Custom Search Engine's control panel. Once there, you'll be prompted to provide your AdSense login and some additional information so that Google Co-op can identify your AdSense account. A verification email will then be sent from AdSense confirming that you would like to grant Google Co-op access to your account. Once you have granted Google Co-op access, your accounts will be linked.If you'd like to learn more about what the Custom Search Engine offers you, including how to set up a Custom Search Engine for your site, please visit the Custom Search Engine website.
