How do I add a google search box in my website?

[Dakoom]

Hello, I need to add a google simple search box like this:

[___________] Search

And I want it to search all over different websites under my newtwork.
So, in the SERs I'd like to have results from mysite.com, from mysecondsite.com, mysite.com/community/, mylastsite.com, etc.

Is this possible?

Yes. And it works great. You can have it display search results from any sites you desire, anywhere.

I recommend paying for Google Custom Search (about $100 a year for most smaller sites). It's cleaner and you can even put your own ads in the results via their UI. (For $100, it's very cool.) But, you can get it for free if you don't mind Google's ads.

Have fun.

Ok, I just created a free one using the link you provided. Now.. I don't understand from where I can get just the simple code to show only this:


[___________] Search

And then how to customize the box. I need some custom css code for the form itself.
