Clickable: Personal Search Engine(s)
The link for this week I heard of quite a while ago, but I never got to trying it out until very recently and I must admit I have been immediately hooked. It is a site where you can create your own search engine by specifying which websites to search. Therefore you only get results from the sites you specify as a resource.
For me it is awesome because I have been searching the web long enough to know what sites I tend to find good answers from when search for a particular topic. For example, I can setup a search engine for CSS and fill it with all of the sites I use as reference when I am coding CSS (and then another for php, C#, etc.). I have only got a small handful of search engines setup, but as I get more I will post them somewhere on my website.

That’s pretty neat. How well does it work?

I have only been using it a couple of weeks, but so far the results are really good and well rated. However it seems to run a little slow when returning your results. Seems like they are getting popular and could use some more servers to help them with the load.
