Adding Google Search to my page was a relatively painless process. The worst part is adding the necessary quotes and line feeds to the code that Google provides you.

To add Google Search to the already existing Search box, I had to once again modify the Simple PHP Blog file, scripts/sb_theme.php. Once in the file, I needed to locate the menu_search_field function, which is the piece of PHP code that results in the Search box being displayed on the Blogging $100 a Day page.

After the line:

$str .= '</form>';

I had to insert the following code:

$str .= '<hr>';
$str .= '<!-- Search Google -->' . "\n";
$str .= '	<center>' . "\n";
$str .= '	<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/custom" target="google_window">' . "\n";
$str .= '	<table bgcolor="#' . $user_colors[ menu_bg ] . '">' . "\n";
$str .= '	<tr><td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top" align="left" height="32">' . "\n";
$str .= '	<a href="http://www.google.com/">' . "\n";
$str .= '	<img src="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_25gry.gif" border="0" alt="Google" align="middle"></img></a>' . "\n";
$str .= '	<br/>' . "\n";
$str .= '	<label for="sbi" style="display: none">Enter your search terms</label>' . "\n";
$str .= '	<input type="text" name="q" size="11" maxlength="255" value="" id="sbi"></input>' . "\n";
$str .= '	<label for="sbb" style="display: none">Submit search form</label>' . "\n";
$str .= '	<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" id="sbb"></input>' . "\n";
$str .= '	<input type="hidden" name="client" value="pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"></input>' . "\n";
$str .= '	<input type="hidden" name="forid" value="1"></input>' . "\n";
$str .= '	<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1"></input>' . "\n";
$str .= '	<input type="hidden" name="oe" value="ISO-8859-1"></input>' . "\n";
$str .= '	<input type="hidden" name="cof" value="GALT:#008000;GL:1;DIV:#336699;VLC:663399;AH:center;BGC:FFFFFF;LBGC:336699;ALC:0000FF;LC:0000FF;T:000000;GFNT:0000FF;GIMP:0000FF;LH:50;LW:375;FORID:1"></input>' . "\n";
$str .= '	<input type="hidden" name="hl" value="en"></input>' . "\n";
$str .= '	</td></tr></table>' . "\n";
$str .= '	</form>' . "\n";
$str .= '	</center>' . "\n";
$str .= '<!-- Search Google -->' . "\n";

That did the trick. Don't forget to use your own pub number!
