A Google Custom Search is designed to search a specific collection of websites pertaining to a topic to help users better find what they are looking for on the web.  If you are looking for SMART Board activities, there is now a Google Custom Search for SMART Notebook.  It is a great place to begin your search because it specifically targets educational websites that have dedicated sections to SMART Notebook.
