Change "yoursite.com" and "Your Site" below to whatever your URL/Site name is:

<!-- SiteSearch Google -->
<FORM method=GET action="http://www.google.com/search">
<input type=hidden name=ie value=UTF-8>
<input type=hidden name=oe value=UTF-8>
<TABLE><tr><td>
<A HREF="http://www.google.com/"></A>
<!--<IMG SRC="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_40wht.gif"-->
</td>
<td>
<INPUT TYPE=text name=q size=15 maxlength=255 value="">
<INPUT type=submit name=btnG VALUE="Search">
<font size=-1>
<input type=hidden name=domains value="http://yoursite.com"><br><input
type=radio name=sitesearch value=""> WWW <input type=radio name=sitesearch
value="http://yoursite.com" checked> Your Site<br>
</font>
</td></tr></table>
</FORM>
<!-- SiteSearch Google -->

That's great for an established site with frequent Googlebot updates (I
use it myself) but I don't think it will work well for a new site, will
it?

It does the usual site:domain type of Google query so it can only find
pages that Google has indexed... no?

David - try Picosearch, I looked at loads and this is good - see it on one of
my sites www.sunrise.co.uk

Thank you, I was thinking that there may be a free CGI solution or something
a little cheaper whithout adds. Its only going to be a few pages.

TIA

Thanks -- I actually did use PicoSearch at one time and then went to
Atomz -- now that my site is well indexed, I use Google site search.

I was replying to a reply to the original poster.

???

How can you get any cheaper than free? www.atomz.com

Take a look at Simple Search on http://www.scriptarchive.com/
With just a few pages this works well - with many pages it is a server
resource hog.
Your host/server must support Perl/CGI.

I personally use msnsearch. I find it does a better job for me.

Since atomz went to including google adwords I see no reason to use it over
Google especially since atomz get any add revenue and does not give you the
option to exclude direct competitors from the Google ads as you can do using
Google directly.

Not free but Frontlook has a search engine addon for FrontPage that lets you
have 5 different sites using the search engine for $99 (one time not annual
fee).
