Can I create a custom [video] search engine?

I tried to use google custom Search Engine (cse) to search in a specific video sharing websites (like: youtube, Y! video, ... etc). The idea is that a user enters a keyword. then, the results are fetched from those predefined websites. Is it possible to do that? Or those kind of video sharing websites prevent queries from outside?

Solution

  • That is what Google Custom Search is for.

    1. Create your search engine.

    2. Set your sites to:

      *.youtube.com/*

      video.yahoo.com/*

    3. That's it.

    I just did exactly this and it works fine - here is my test search.
