would it be legal to run my own search function using the google API to hook into their data and display adsense on those pages or would it be against the TOS to do that? I want to run my own search results so they are cleaner looking and specific to my theme instead of the adsense search themes. thoughts? Thanks.
Without going back and poring over the ToS, I believe you can't do anything with the API that would compete with Google's search service. Plus, with one API key, you won't be able to handle much traffic...
Hmm bummer -- ok. I guess I'll just have to create a search engine application myself and run it through my databases in order to create a cache for all the pages. Thanks exam.
