Google has added to its portfolio of subscription-based services with the launch of Custom Search Business Edition, a hosted search engine for companies with large web sites.

While Google has always offered site-specific search, the CSFB gives customers a greater level of customization, such as the ability to brand the search page and remove Google’s ads.

The service can also be configured to better reflect how the customer’s site is organized, such as grouping by section or limiting which pages are indexed, the company said.

The service, which runs on Google’s existing infrastructure, is very reasonably priced at $100 a year for 5,000 pages, and goes up to $500 a year for 50,000 pages. Bigger sites need to call Google for pricing.
