include yahoo/google search engine box

[daveyt11223344]

hello,

this may be a really stupid question but it is possible to include a yahoo or google search box on your site so visitors can search the web without leaving my site? if so how do i go about doing it?

is it html based? as my site is done in flash

Thanks for any help

The easiest way to do this is to simply add a search box (available from all the big search engines) but this will send the user to the search engine to carry out their search.

The only way you can show the search engines results on your own site is to use xml.

Google do provide this service. They will allow you up to 1000 searches a day for free.

[google.com...]

You will however need to use a script to parse the google data, although there are a few free scripts out there that work well with the Google web api to help you do this.

Try searching for "google API script" ect.

Using the service from Google is free, although you do ned to register to use it. They will provide you with a "key" that you need to use within your scripts.

Hope this is of some help.

Mack.
