Pat writes "Just an FYI, I built a Google Search component for Blogware. You can see/use it on my blog at http://pat.blogware.com/blog"
I tried to build something similar once, but I didn't really have the time to figure out how to make Google only search the contents of a site that I had specified. I thought it would be cool to include a recipe search function in my weblog. Anyways, Pat also included the code that he used to create the search and I've reproduced it here for anyone else that wants to tackle this neat little project...
<div class="component">
<div class="componentHead">Search Google</div>
<div class="componentContent">
<div class="componentSearch">
<form method=get action="http://www.google.com/search">
<INPUT TYPE=text name=q size=20 maxlength=255 value="">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="componentSearch">
<tr>
<td nowrap>
</tr>
<tr>
<td nowrap>
<div style="margin-top:2px;">
<input type="submit" name=vpop class="buttonWhite" Value="Submit"></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</div> <!-- componentSearch -->
</div> <!-- componentContent -->
</div> <!-- component -->



Have a favorite recipe search site? send me the url and I'll see if I can help you to add it to your blog.
a fun customization of this component is to pop open the "Search" window in Internet Explorer when pressing the submit button. first, specify a unique id to the form tag:
then, the following script underneath the form:voila!
