Bing Lets You Build Your Own Ads-Free Search Engine Using Custom API

Bing has a custom search API which allows you to build an ads-free search for your site.

It'll also give you control over which domains, subsites, or webpages to deliver SERPs from.

Free hosted UI for search experience.

Free access keys to explore, tweak, and configure your search instance followed by a pay-as-you-go subscription.

Ability to promote, demote, and pin search results.

Trusted indexing and relevance capabilities of Bing.

You'll need to sign up and get your API key, of course.

Here's a video on the topic.

Having a site search on large sites is a plus. This looks to serve that purpose and quite a bit more.

Sounds great. Something to keep in mind as a back-up for site search.

Hmm... Would be great if it's possible to hack it so I can put specific affiliate ads at the top of the search results for specific queries...

Says the UI is hosted but doesn't say it has to be on their page. I think we can put the UI on our page and have ads above/below.

I do exactly that with another site search service.
