A custom search engine for Active Directory related queries

08/21/2009

I have created an Active Directory Custom Search Engine (using Google CSE). It searches for the relevant content based on the sites I have added. The point is to remove all the unnecessary hits you get from using the regular Google search and make sure you get hits from the most smart AD bloggers. I have also added a few PoSH blogs from folks who often write on the “AD management” with PowerShell. So far the engine only searches in the 35 sites I have added, I will be certainly adding more so feel free to leave a comment with your suggestion. Click here to get to it.

So next time you have an AD related query, just type it up in this search engine and you are likely to find what you are looking for. The searched site list is of the prestigious AD bloggers and writers (MVPs,ActiveDir and EE) whom its very likely to find a discussed topic from to your AD query. Personally, it serves me as a tool I could go back to when I remember that I had read about something particular on someone’s blog but can’t remember whose site it was.

Here is the list of searched sites and it will likely be growing.
