Google Search

[rlbailey]

Hi,

I'm working on a large website that already has a google search feature, except that it opens in a pop-up box.
They'd like to have the google search open in the same (main) browser window.

would it be very difficult to fix this?

Thanks! :cool:

If I read you right...
You want to change the target to _self on the form where the google function is.

I wish it were that simple.

They'd like to keep thier main page layout and have the google results display somewhere on their site - like our UA homepage search - the google results display on the UA's webpage. (or like this page http://www.bearingpoint.com/ )

I got the api and was looking at it and am very baffled at how to use it, let alone glean the information I'd like.

So even if you don't know but could point me in the right direction from here, I'd be very appreciative.

thanks!

Google has an ajax enabled search which you might be able to embed in your pages.
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/

Failing that, the only way to completely customize search results from google is to use their API, which has 1 large constraint:
http://www.google.com/apis/api_faq.html
7. How many queries can I issue from my computer programs?

Google provides each developer who registers to use the Google SOAP Search API service a limit of 1,000 queries per day.
Lastly you can buy one of their search appliances and do pretty much whatever you want. Ideally the API functions seem the best way to go, but Google is (understandably) hesitant to allow other people to represent search data however they want.

Try a frame :)
