That makes sense. In order for Adsense to properly target ads the page must be crawled by the Google-Mediapartners bot. Since your search results are generated on the fly they have not been crawled. Also, if I am correct, I believe that the TOS doesn't allow for Adsense ads to be placed on search results pages.

Well, Jenstar used to say that google TOS did not say search page was not allowed somewhere in this forum. Anyway, I will read google TOS carefully again.
By the way, since google also crawl dynamic pages, I guess it is possible that google crawl search results page, what do you think?

You are allowed to place the adsense code on search pages. However, the entire page will be analysed, so you won't see the same ads as if you would do a search on google. The topic of the ads might even differ from your search keywords.
