On the German page I get when following this link, there is still no shutdown notice visible but only the "normal" marketing page for Site Search (+pricing). Does the shutdown only affect US customers or does Google fail to communicate this internationally?

Hum, I'm seeing the notice in the UK.

#64Note that Google custom site search is still available: https://cse.google.com/cse The main difference seems to be that enterprise has custom branding and is ad-free.
Coudlnt you just hid their ads with css ?
No doubt that would be against their ToS and they would stop serving you.
Besides, hiding ads is not the same as preventing ads from being loaded.
Enterprise and government customers are often concerned about data leaking out through advertisement networks, and hosted ad services are not uncommonly used to inject malware into specific sites. Hiding ads using CSS would not prevent these problems.

#65This could be a good opportunity for DuckDuckGo to make some money and improve awareness of their brand.

> Where is the shut-down message? Try English version of that page: https://enterprise.google.com/search/products/gss.html?hl=en > EDIT: I was also able to create a new site search engine. The shut-down message says " On April 1, 2017, Google will discontinue sales of the Google Site Search ".
Amusing how they don't feel the need to inform non-english people.
That message is possibly in a to-be-translated queue.
For something like this.... maybe not all languages, but just the ones that analytics detect significant traffic from.

#67this is why i'm not completely 100% with google photos. i'm ready to spend the monthly fees to store all my pictures in its original resolution, use google photos to manage/search my photos. except i don't want to commit to using it and then finding out google doesn't want to support it and just dumps it.
same thing with google voice. i use it but i've never committed to using it as my main phone number.
maybe it's a catch-22, but maybe google should stop sunsetting so many products so as to cause people to have no faith in their products. pretty much the only untouchable thing is gmail since the negative press for that would probably end google to the general public.

c2 recently became obsessed with "federated wikis" apparently due to some unimpressed person threatening to batch-delete the entire site. Unfortunately JavaScript-based solutions became interesting.
I'm mildly curious what would happen if you tried to build NetSurf on that thing. It compiles for AmigaOS and RISC OS...

Amazing. It even renders more or less decently on mobile. I'm going to start a new trend in web design. I'll call it 56k design.
> I'm going to start a new trend in web design. I'll call it 56k design. That was pretty much my criteria when I was making forum software: https://www.lfgss.com/ It's still too heavy and slow, and there's still some things I could do better. But that's nitpicking, it's pretty good and when I finish re-structuring all of the code it will be a single binary install for those who want to use it, or a split-binary Web-U…
Oh hey, I love the lfgss site design. It just gets shit done and looks decent on everything I own.
