See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Anime_and_manga#Custom_search_engine
The engine is at:
http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=009114923999563836576:1eorkzz2gp4

Some queries work well, such as for "Wings of Honneamise":
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=009114923999563836576%3A1eorkzz2gp4&q=Wings+of+Honneamise
Others, like "Kaworu Jesus" aren't so hot:
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=009114923999563836576%3A1eorkzz2gp4&q=Kaworu+Jesus
And some have mediocre results, like "Evangelion Oni":
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=009114923999563836576%3A1eorkzz2gp4&q=Evangelion+Oni

This custom Google searchs over a scad of good websites, and filtering
out many bad websites (about 300 in all), for looking for high-quality
sources. It seems to work pretty well.

It covers the usual suspects: onegeek.org, evamonkey.com,
evaotaku.com, and evageeks.org. Did I miss anyone?
