Google Launches Hosted Website Search for SMBs

Google Custom Search Business Edition is a hosted, fee-based site search service aimed at small and medium-size businesses—but available for any Web site—that adds Google-type indexing and customized-search capabilities. The service's free version displays advertisements; companies with larger, more complicated sites can have the ads turned off for as little as $100 per year or buy the Google Search Appliance itself to provide site and intranet search behind the firewall.

This only adds more steam to the engine as businesses can not only take advantage of Google's AdWords and AdSense programs but they can now fully leverage the capabilities of Google's search engine on their own web sites.
