Search on AdSense

Is search to profitize gone?

I can honestly say that by "doing nothing" over all these years I have never disadvantaged myself with AdSense itself. Google Search is another matter...

Speaking of Search here on this AdSense board, is it still possible to put a Search box with AdSense on a site ... or I'm I just missing it?

Due to the advanced targeting and controls available in AdSense Custom Search Ads, this product must be enabled before it will work with your current AdSense account.

If your site is search focused, (for example your users are looking for jobs, travel, products, or local businesses), apply below and an AdSense account manager will follow up with details if you are selected for participation (if you are not selected at this time we may still contact you with additional information).

Hunh; wonder when they did that. Most of my sites have Custom Search Ads. Never had to be enabled before.

Thanks for the response.

Anyone tried this? Results?

"we may still contact you" instead of "we will contact you" - That doesn't seem encouraging.

"we may still contact you" roughly translates into "if you're already making us some money, there's a chance"

On the subject of search again, did not AdSense formerly offer a search feature/box where visitors could search only your site or your site and any sites you select?

That could be an award-winning translation.
