Just like YouTube, Blogger and Gmail Google products, custom search engine is also a product developed by Google to let sites display the search box for inner site search only. If you run a website that has tons of pages with huge data and its really difficult to set the perfect navigation than you could use search engine that will help your visitors to navigate easily just by searching the thing that they in search box and search box will automatically give them the path of the content that they want. It's totally easy.

Google uses various natural factors to bring up the exact and correct search results and in custom search engine, Google uses same formula.

Google custom search engine also allows you to monetize the search result pages but for that you'll need to have normally approved Google AdSense account. You can easily sign in to custom search engine with your AdSense account and enable monetization in monetize page. It might take time to activate but later it will start working. Google displays ads in the search result pages and ads are also relevant to the every keyword that user may search and you're easily paid for clicks on ads and also impressions.
Other than this, Google custom search engine has functions to customize the theme of search box, enable voice search, image search and many more options.
