OT where can I find a google custom search engine in use.

My favorite google custom search engine switched from google to Bing
because of unsavory advertising which had begun to be shown by google.

I know things are different with the custom search from the regular
google search. For example, it always has a limit of, iirc, 10 per
page. But I don't remember seeing any advertising, so I certainly don't
know how bad the advertising got.

So I'd like to find a webpage that includes a custom search box, to
remind myself.

For example, some webpages have a box that says "Search our company
only". But I don't remember seeing one of these for years.

Can you point me to one?

No. Do it yourself and stop posting stupid questions here on Windows 10
newsgroup. We have enough of you nutters here recently.

Wow. Only 6 minutes after I asked. Usenet is so great, it's a shame to
see its popularity decline.

As I recalled, there is no advertising even in the custom google search.

Knowing this will help a lot when I write to my previously-liked page.
Maybe there is some setting that eliminates whatever they were objecting
to. Or maybe it was there for a while and Google itself got rid of it.

Thanks
