Filed under the "How do they make money" category, Google has released Google Co-op custom search engines. This allows you to create a search engine with various filters automatically in place. Consider this simple ColdFusion one. I set it up to search House of Fusion, my blog, and MXNA, but to not limit itself to just those sites. Google also lets you turn on AdSense (ahem, which I did of course), customize the colors, add it to your home page, etc. Pretty interesting.

In <a href="http://www.pbell.com/index....">talking to Peter Bill</a> I offered to set up a dedicated site for it. I got the domain cfhunt.com just a bit ago and will be setting it all up today/tomorrow. I'll link to resources (cflib, riaforge, hof, etc) as well, and other suggestions let me know.
Didn't see it - thanks Joshua!
Wow!
Talk about Internet speed!
I read about this from Good Morning Silicon Valley, and the next email is from Ray Camden talking about how he's setup a site!
I am cross commenting to you and Peter Bell about this.
Just posted my cfsearch site.

I am looking to promote (at no cost) some open source projects, so I would like people to visit my blog and post suggestions, send ads for their OS, etc.

I will be adding sites over the course of the day.
