Google implementation?

[basil]

I thought I saw somewhere a way to implement google seach fields on your web page using PhP. But I can't for the life of me remember where I saw it. Does anyone know where I can find info on this, or know how to do it?

Thanks

Are you talking about this?

http://www.google.com/apis

Or what do you mean by "implement good search fields"? 'cause if you want to do just that, you can just make a HTML form, name the fields the same way Google does, and point the form action to the Google search script. This way your site visitors can search Google from your website...If you want to get PHP involved in this, I assumed you're talking about something more advanced so I posted the link to Google's APIs.

a simple thing that i like to do is to look at the url of a site. it's usually pretty clear what params do what. for google, it's easy. for a simple search, just do something like this.

$query = "I am doing a search";
$solid_query = ereg_replace(" ","+",$query);
echo "http://www.google.com/search?q=$solid_query";

you can do that, or go here:
