New and Improved AdSense For Search

Over the past two years, the AdSense team has offered the powerful Google Custom search engine (CSE) of the product as an improvement on the original AdSense for search. After some recent improvements, we are now ready to retire the old version of AdSense for search. If the Google logo on your search results page says "Powered by Google" instead of the latest "Google Custom Search", then you have not yet upgraded to the latest version. AdSense for search with new CSE is available in your account, and we encourage you to make the change by updating your code as soon as possible.

AdSense for search with CSE gives you more control over their search results without changing how you make money showing ads to AdSense for search. For example, with the new version, you will have access to advanced features such as refinements and promotions. Our team has developed a series of upgrades and improvements over the last few months, and you can access the most advanced capabilities at www.google.com / cse.

Your existing AdSense for search box will continue to work normally for a few months more, and we'll be sure to update it when you retire this version. To take advantage of the benefits offered by the new version of AdSense for search and ensure you do not lose any revenue during the transition, we encourage you to update your code now. You only need to regenerate your AdSense code to search by signing into your account and follow these instructions:

  1. Visit your AdSense Setup tab and choose AdSense for search.
  2. Select the sites you would like your users to search on.
  3. Customize the appearance of their search results.
  4. Update the code on your site.
