If you know HTML, it's relatively easy to make links to Google's search results.

• [ Google tutorial create link ]
  [ <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Google+tutorial+create+link">Google tutorial create link</a> ]
• Open a new window containing the search results for the query
  [ Google tutorial create link ]
  [ <a target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Google+tutorial+create+link">Google tutorial create link</a> ]
• The URL shouldn't contain any spaces.
  Use a plus sign (+) in place of each space.

• Certain characters can't be used literally;
  they must be encoded into a form like %nn.
  [ "a song for you" ] would be encoded as
  http://www.google.com/search?q=%22a+song+for+you%22,
  where each quote (") is replaced by %22.

  An easy way to find the correct encoding is to

  • Type your query into a Google Search box.
  • Run the search.
  • Look at the resulting URL in your web browser's address box.
  • copy and paste the parts you need from the URL into your HTML code.
• With AdSense for Search, you can
  • easily create a revenue stream
  • provide a Google search box like the following.

  Fill the search box with a query by specifying a value the attribute "value".

  Note: If you fill the search box with a query, Google may not share revenue with you.

• AdSense for WebSearch + SiteSearch allows users to search the web or the specific site(s) of your choice.
