Released on October 23, 2006, Google Programmable Search allows anyone to create their own search engine by themselves. Search engines can be created to search for information on particular topics chosen by the creator. Google Programmable Search Engine allows creators to select what websites will be used to search for information which helps to eliminate any unwanted websites or information. [[Google AdSense]] results can also be triggered from certain search queries, which would generate revenue for the site owner.<ref>{{cite web|title=AdSense Custom Search Ads|url=https://developers.google.com/custom-search-ads/|publisher=Google Inc.|access-date=31 July 2014}}</ref>{{SecondaryPrimary source neededinline|date=June 2024}}
