New search engine for OAN and SOAN

I'm very happy to announce that I just replaced the old search engine on my blog sidebar with a new and better one from Google Custom Search.  The new search engine covers the following material (and nothing more):

• the archives of the Open Access News blog
• the archives of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter
• reference pages, such as my timeline, lists, and conferences
• my major articles on OA

My old search engine had the same scope but the new one is faster, more flexible, and supports ordinary Google syntax for boolean and phrase searching. 

If you don't want to use it from the blog sidebar, you can also use it from its own home page.

I set up this search engine to cover only what I wanted it to cover.  But Google Custom Search also lets you create search engines whose scopes are set collaboratively by users.  There's great potential here for search engines on OA in general or special topics like OA journals, OA repositories, funder policies, and so on.

Update. I'd be glad to share the code for my search engine with anyone who'd like to add a search box to their own page. (Thanks to Charles Bailey for the idea.)
