    Hi
    recently I just add a google search box on my website

    since I set to my browser the home page to my website

    so if I do searches on google search box (on my website) will I break the TOS of google ???

    I mean I am only doing a simple search no clicking on the ads

    I search all the time with my search box. Never got banned. It's for inner content- not ads.

    You can search, its OK, the only thing to remember is to not click on your own ads.

    Why would that be a problem, as long as you don't click on Google sponsor links.
    I search it all the time.
