Embedding a Google Search on my Page

theChronic · 07-03-2006, 07:14 PM

Hey whats up
I was wondering if anyone knew of any way to embed one of the search engines into my webpage? I don't want the users to think they left the site. Some way of wrapping my layout around the search box and results? If google doesn't allow this, does MSN or Yahoo? I am positive I have seen this before but am not sure how to do it.

Any ideas?

Thanks
John

Like on the top right of my brothers website www.whatconsole.co.uk? It is part of AdSense and you get paid for it too.

Yes, something like that. But I want the results to be wrapped by my template, not a page with just the results and my header.

Use the google API. It's not difficult to find a soap client already written in whatever language you are used you.

I don't know much about soap, but you can download a PHP version called nusoap from Sourceforge. When used you are returned an array which you can display in your website, (IE. http://www.sketchthat.com/search/ ).

I found this site
http://www.fiftyfoureleven.com/weblo...gle-search-api
it shows you how to use the search API and how to code it.
