Hi There,

Personally I would add google to your website, you could have a page with a textbox control on it and a radio button to select wether the user searches using google or your own website engine, once the user has made a selection and click the button the search results appear. You can integrate with google via google's webservice and the documentation can be found here http://code.google.com/.

There are plenty of articles around that show you how to communicate with various web services, I think you should

Hi,
Regarding Google search, it says that the maximum number of queries aday is 1000. How can I use this in my website when I cannot determine the number of users visiting my website and using the search?? Moreover, it's not acceptable to have restrictions on them using search.
