If you want to limit search results to your SSU site or web server, or if you'd like your search results pages to look like the rest of your SSU site, please contact the IT Web Office to request a new Google collection and custom front-end.

Search Custom Collection AND All SSU Sites

If you have a collection, you can make a search form that lets the visitor choose which site to search. For example, the form below can be used to search Information Technology, or the entire SSU website.
