Search Sites powered by Google?

    I wanna make a site using Google Search, I wanted to know if this can be done.

    The site will be a Search Engine site with different fields.

    As in 3 Input Boxes

    1st Input Box
    Where you can add the Type of Game "Action", "Adventure" or etc...

    2nd Input Box
    Where you enter keyword "Hero", "Alien", and etc

    3rd Input Box(Optional)
    The title of the game.


    Then the user can search for it....

    Is there an Google API for this sort of thing. Or do I have go with something custom? I know I can monetize w/ Adsense for Search.


    And is there any limits to the amount of searches users can do I though I ready, 1,000 somewhere.

    Any info would be great!

    Make a search powered by Google, like sites like blackle.com.

    But want to know if I can add my own modification and gear it to a certain list of sites.
    And wanted to know if there is a limit on the amount of queries per day
    And want to combine the search w/ Adsense Search

    It shouldnt be a problem. You can customize the search bar pretty good now, just check adsense.

    Yup, use a bunch of customized google search engines. I do that on a game development site of mine, seems to work well. :)

    Sounds like a great idea, but you should look through Google faq and see if this is allowed. They might not like anyone making money using their setup like that.

    Yes you can gear it to a certain site, or a list of sites.

    There is no limit to the amount of searches done per day that I know of. My best performing CSE does around 10,000 searches a day, the site does over 30,000 searches a day spread across several different custom search engines.

    I believe you can only have two search boxes per page.
    Not sure if you can do exactly what you want, but there are a lot of customizable features you can add now, such as Refinements and Labels ect.

    Hope that helps

    Cheers

    Is this kind of what you're looking for?
    Example

    It used the Google CSE
    Just copy the code and replace the cx= value with your own after you make a CSE search engine.
    You could also add drop down menus inplace of the boxes.

    Wow, nice, Did you make that?

    Is it ok to just copy code and change the cx= value, or could that be deemed against the adsense policies?
    Just curious..

    Cheers
    James

    EDIT: Ok I see "Game Search for Xphic " in the top left, nice gesture. I am sure he will appreciate it. :D

    One change you might make, replace this line:
    <input type="text" name="as_oq" size="20"/>

    with this:
    <input type="text" name="as_epq" size="20"/>

    I get your point; you want to make a search for each category that you mention. Hmm... I dont know how to do it, but I know it is possible. I have seen before a customize Search Site powered by google search result.
