Google Programmable Search Engine
Google gives users the ability to create their own search engines to search for a specific group of sites
programmablesearchengine.google.com…
A famous example (search by Telegram content agregators):cse.google.com/cse?q=+&cx=006368593…
Unfortunately, with the free version of API, Google allows to add no more than 10 sites to a single CSE
But CSEs can be embedded into your own sites and combine several on the same page. Example:
cipher387.github.io/pastebinsearche…
before you create a cse for everyday #osint tasks (for example, for searching social networks or job sites), check to see if someone has already created the cse you need
start.me/p/b5ynOQ/sprp77-search-eng…
this thread is complete. most importantly, remember that google is not suitable for every search and there are usually specialized tools for every osint task.
