From the sounds of this Finanial Times article, Google is about to roll out a product that lets bloggers add a customizable search engine to their pages. Sounds a lot like Rollyo and Windows Live Search Macros to me.
::UPDATE: It's now live on the Google Coop site. It is a Rollyo Live Macro clone. One interesting feature is the Google Marker, which lets you add and label sites to your Custom Search Engine. Here's a search engine I built to scrape my blog.

Thanks for your scoop !
I tested this new service but I prefer Blogbar (blogbar.org). It is easier to install, and prettier ;)
And I like to be able to seek on several search engines at the same time.

Upon checking this out, three features stood out:
1) You can exclude sites that you do not want in the results
2) You can easily do so using the Google Marker
3) Anyone can volunteer to help
So we decided to throw up an experiment to encourage everyone to mark spam sites to be excluded from search results.
Working together as a community we may be able to radically improve the quality of the search results (or perhaps just get in a blacklisting war?)
The result is Putch - http://www.putch.com

Steve,
I created a Google Co-op Search that is built up exclusively of my favorite ad /marketing/pr blogs. Hopefully others will join in and add their sites. Should be a really useful tool for our "community."
