Images: Google Mini search configuration UI

Specify the starting url and any url patterns you want the Mini to crawl or avoid. The "Test these patterns" link brings you to a page where you can input urls to see if they would match the patterns you've entered.

You can specify subcollections, which lets you narrow down a search to only certain pages of the larger collection. The Mini allows for one collection at a time so subcollections is the only way to break up your search index.

After the initial crawl and index, you can set up a schedule for subsequent crawls.

You can follow the progress of a crawl on this screen. The little colored balls move back and forth as the page updates. Kindof Cylon-like.
