This is just a random thing but I would like to know what code and how to use this code to develop a search box that when data is input it instantly query's Google for the answer. I'm currently developing my own little intranet and have all the code done for layout and what I need it for the only thing I would like is a search box. If anyone could help that would be great thanks in advance.

In Google Chrome they refer to the, as made famous by MSIE, "Address bar" as the "Omni bar" because it does 'everything'. So I'm not entirely sure on what you want to do, but I do know you can use the google API in your own web sites. Not sure if the link will help, but it may get you set in the right direction? G'luck!

You can add Google Search on your own page with this simple form:

<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">
<input type="text" name="q" size="31"
maxlength="255" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Google Search" />
<input type="radio" name="sitesearch" value="" />
Search the Web
<input type="radio" name="sitesearch"
value="your_domain_here.com" checked />
Search my site
</form>

It can be styled or altered to suit your needs.
