Thank you very much, great job!

I am curious, how do I make Google's code to search results within my site?
I do not believe it is possible unless myou pay Google. Example: Macromedia

Do you guys think I mean put a search box on my website? What I mean
is a search box and then for the results to also appear there.


A message for Cynthia,

Call my blonde, stupid, dumb, or even retarded, "caugh" but I dont
believe you can put Google's Search Engine within your website unless
you pay a small price.

Hi again freebay-ga and thanks for the compliment.

In my case I thought you meant by the word embed that you will have a
search box. The problem with having search results displayed within
your website is it will now be a matter of programming and not just
merely inserting an HTML code. It is rather complicated.

Usually search results are displayed within the search engines pages
so that the viewer will then visit the providers service. Google
operates the same way and takes you to Google pages for search
results. However, you can put the Google html code on your website and
a search box will appear for free.

Thanks! :)

Your question requires that a Researcher compile a list of "as many of
possible." This might take several hours. You'll be more likely to get
an answer if you increase your price considerably.

All I ask is for a basic search engine that I could embed in my site.
I say "as many of possible" just so they could give me a few. Do you
actually think a Researcher would spend several hours on a $2.00
question?

Some Researchers *do* spend several hours on a $2 question, if it
interests them enough.  I'm sure pinkfreud has done so, and I *know* I
have.

We like to meet our customers' expectations, and we take them at their
word.  If you say you want "as many as possible", we can only assume
that you really want "as many as possible".  If the fee you offer
doesn't support the time commitment necessary for "as many as
possible", the question will likely be skipped.

It's helpful for us if our customers tell us *exactly* what they want.
 I would suggest either rephrasing your question or adjusting your
price - the former if all you really want is one or two, the latter if
what you really mean is "as many as possible."

freebay,

Please forgive me, but this is just too good to pass up...

Call me biased, but there is only one Search Engine to embed in your
site, and that would be .......drumroll please...........GOOGLE !!!

Here's a link:

GOOGLE FREE WEB SEARCH
://www.google.com/searchcode.html
Scroll down to the 3rd option if what you want is to allow visitors to
search WITHIN your web site.
