However, have you ever noticed that those search engines have really boring backgrounds? For example, Google has a plain looking white background with a search box in the middle. How boring is that? I recently came to know about Favitt. It's pretty cool actually. Favitt is a new Google custom search where you can replace the white background of Google with your own image. That's right, you can upload your own skin onto Google custom search! Just think of the skin like it's your own desktop wallpaper.
Check this out. I went to Favitt.com and I created my own Favitt page! It's really simple, actually. How did I do it? Well, all I needed to do was go to Favitt.com and there is a tab at the bottom that says "Choose your own background". You can either choose one of the backgrounds that is available or you can click on "Use your own background".
Once you choose that, you can customize your own page. Just pick a username (for example, I picked thepodanys) and then pick the photo that you like. You can either upload it or grab it off the net.
You can also customize your search box position. As you can see, the search box position for the first screenshot that I am showed you is the default (which is the middle). For the second one, I set it as upper left and I chose upper right for the third. The best thing is, you can personalize your search engine with your favorite photos. The first one is a photo of my parents and sister when they visited us last year. The second was taken at Jones Beach on the Jersey Shore during my birthday and the last one was one of the photos taken from our wedding in Malaysia.
My favorite is the 3rd screenshot! You can check it out here. I love it so much until I have set it as our browser's homepage. You can personalize your search engine too. Just head over to Favitt.com and get started. It's lots of fun and your search engine will never be boring again!!
