how can i make a search box in my custom home page?

Yeh, it's definitely possible, most of the (active) guys here on Custo have them.
I don't actually know myself, I've never asked, so I'll keep a watch on this thread. : D

:), therefore i'm not the only one here. I hope in someone reply

Go to google, view source, copy/paste searchbox into your html.

Delicious Copypasta.

Why did I never think of that...?
Thanks, Cthu.

Wait, wut?

K, I had problems with Cthu's method, for some reason.
I couldn't find the problem. so I went to the supplied code from Google for custom search boxes...
I'm using the following straight in the [body] area.


<!-- Search Google -->
<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/custom">
<table bgcolor="#ffffff">
[tr]<td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top" align="left" height="32">
<label for="sbi" style="display: none">Enter your search terms[/label]
<input type="text" name="q" size="31" maxlength="255" value="" id="sbi">[/input]
<label for="sbb" style="display: none">Submit search form[/label]
<input type="hidden" name="client" value="pub-1185634157404086">[/input]
<input type="hidden" name="forid" value="1">[/input]
<input type="hidden" name="channel" value="5984665699">[/input]
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1">[/input]
<input type="hidden" name="oe" value="ISO-8859-1">[/input]
<input type="hidden" name="cof"

value="GALT:#008000;GL:1;DIV:#336699;VLC:663399;AH:center;BG

<input type="hidden" name="hl" value="en">[/input]

[/form]

Hmm, it works for me, although there's no submit button.

Here's all you need though: http://pastebin.com/m6a3bfe7d

Yeh, I didn't want a submit button, not neccessary and doesn't look good with my minimal start page.

That one of yours is much better, though. I just took out the bottom line.

Thanks. =)
