It would be great to have a way to search all the search engines people have created.

One more question....The Google coop page isn't clear on how to search for the various search engines that people have provided on specific topics. Any suggestions?

The homepage for search engines you create through Google Coop (<a href="http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=013333327917601235242%3Axt9t1i4wps0" rel="nofollow">you can check out the homepage for the Uncommon Knowledge search engine as an example</a>) allows you to give access to your search engine without it living on a specific site. Other people can even embed your search engine into their sites if they like it (<a href="http://gmodules.com/ig/creator?url=http://www.google.com/coop/api/013333327917601235242/cse/xt9t1i4wps0/gadget&synd=open&w=320&h=75&title=Uncommon+Knowledge&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999" rel="nofollow">you can see the embed for the Uncommon Knowledge search engine here</a>). I should have mentioned that in the post. Thanks for your comment!

Is there a way to make this type of search available to a wider range of users who may not necessarily have prior knowledge of this site in particular? This type of customized search would be very useful to people who may not be familiar with a topic, but still allow them to obtain quality information.
