Sorry for asking but is this legal? Doesn't sound like it but I may be wrong. Also does anyone know where to get that mini google search engine you can place on your own site? I'm almost ready for my own site.. a few more hosting credits. :D

yes its completely legal. its an open source project. but first you have to get your free google api license.
and also you wanted a google search on you site.

Very simply put, this script connects to the Google API Web service using your Google API key, and queries Google from thre. The guy that made it mimiced the real Google interface, so that's why it looks so good. It's not as good as Google; basically, it is Google.

exactly, so your pretty much changining the google logo to your own, and have your own ads, put your using the great search techonology google provides. i think this is a nice way to make some money dont you guys think. or mabey not because will just go to google rather than your skined google. so its just a little site add on you can put in you site.

¿So it´s legal although somebody is using google search engine and basically removing the google logo? Pretty strange...

And how are you going to make money? People won´t use your customized google only because your logo looks cooler. ¿Am I wrong?

anyways i think this is kinda lame. imagine what other search engines you are competing against. how many servers do they have?! how much space do they have for web crawlers..? it's not worth doing.
