Hi,

I hope this is the place to ask :)
I've searched the FAQ's and havent found anything as yet.

Im trying to insert a google search result into my html page.

So that the page will be hosted on my website but inside that page is
a table which is the google search ( a specific search)

Anyone know how to go about this other than Iframes ?
I've tried Iframes and it worked perfect however their was a problem
that all the links
in the search opened up inside the Iframe which was to small to be
practical :(

regards
josh,

It can be done in theory, but Google won't like it at all. It's
cloaking. A kind of proxy in fact. Not on the up and up at all.
Possibly (hopefully in fact, as far as I am concerned) Google might
recognize it and block it too.

And you'd need server side scripting for anyhting like that anyway in
general. On an Apache server you can force pages that are suffixed
as .thml to be parsed as php by using an Apache handler in
teh .htaccess file.
On an IIS server you make a folder named with an .html suffix, so it
looks like a page url. In teh folder you have the default.asp page
which can achieve the similar thing.

oh !

I didn't even think about the legalities of including a google search
into your site :(

Does anyone know who I can ask regarding this ? or maybe one of the
Googlers can advise me.

Thank you for your reply webado

Hi Josh

One way you could integrate Google search results in your site would
be to use a custom search engine: http://www.google.com/coop/cse .
There are several formats available, you can either integrate it into
your pages or have the results shown on a separate page (with elements
of your design). Give it a shot!

Including Google search results in your pages by scraping our pages
does not comply with our terms of service.

Thanks guys,

I've scrapped the idea of including the google search results in my
website :(
Instead I've made a work around that I will just have to update every
week.
myself.

Basically on the website I have an "eBay News" section where I want
to
have the 3 top stories of the week  (which would have been the three
top search results
for "ebay" ) So instead of having the search results at the beginning
of each week
I find the top 3 stories and create my own links . now is this ok with
the terms of service ?

Ive had a quick read of them and I can't find anything to say its not
ok
