After 12 months of existence and many, many (way too many!) feedback emails coming from you guys and girls, we have decided to make a significant, and much asked for improvement to Sputtr.com. We are enabling all users (yes you!) to add completely new search engines to the Sputtr homepage, which will then be publicly available for everyone else.
So if you’ve been dying to search a specific site or search engine through Sputtr.com, but we haven’t listed it so far, now is the time to head over to Sputtr.com and submit your site! Not only will you be able to add your new search button straight to your own customized homepage, but every other Sputtr user will also be able to see your newly added search source and will be able to try it out for him or herself.
All you have to know to submit a search engine, is the name of the site (e.g. Google Images), the category it falls into (e.g. is it web search or image search or blog search, etc..?), the search code of the search results, and have an appropriate gif/jpeg image/logo for your button. Once you know all of these you are good to go.
So if you have a new search engine in mind, head on over to Sputtr.com and enjoy your new-found control by adding it to your customized search page!
Please also note that so far this feature has only been added to the dot-com version, and none of the international language (de, fr, es ..) versions. Please don’t submit any search engines that are non-English, since these belong on the international sites and not the dot-com version.

Perhaps you guys could just use this:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=
for Google searchs instead of the Custom Search that you are now using…It has some display issues in my browser (Firefox 2.0.0.13).
Specifically the tan/cream background box for their Sponsored Links is above the ad text instead of behind it.
