Speaking of crawling the internet or a website, there is nothing can beat Google's searching technique. Blogger Templates have built- in search engine widget/boxes but it is incapable of showing relevant results because these search boxes by default are limited to their ability of searching each and every word of your blog. But don't worry for there is a solution for that and that is to use Google Custom Search Engines (CSE) that are extremely efficient in digging out the most important data from your blog and displays it to the visitor. And as result, it increases the number of pageviews and page impressions of your blog because the reader is kept engaged in reading more and more. An example of such search engine can be found below every post of this (BTT) blog.
