"Unlike the original feature, Retro Links lets you select which search engines to show from 42 different Web sites and search engines [and] then saves those preferences," Cutts writes. "It's also very easy to add a new search engine in the JavaScript file." Although not an official Google product, Cutts provides a link for you to download the script and steps through the configuration process.
