SQL Server Search Macro (plus build your own directed search!)

Microsoft has built a little site for searching the books online on the web (which gives you links that are more readily shared with others):

That is nice, but what is nicer is that you can create your own search macros and save them.. Just click the “create your own search engine” and go from there. Here is my search engine for my blogs:

I have put links to it on the blog sites and on the website (drsql.org).  Really cool stuff, and I envision setting up my own search to search the knowledge base, my favorite sites (Like SQLBlog.Com for example!)  So two thumbs up for the Live team and the SQL Server education team for doing this for us.
