How can I embed search results on my own page?
I've read and enjoyed your articles on adding Twitter / Google search boxes to a website. I am trying to figure out a way to have one search box on my site that displays results (in a multi-column horizontal table) for multiple sources, particularly Twitter / Google / YouTube. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

How do I change the default search engine in Internet Explorer IE8?
On two separate computers, I have tried to change my Search Provider on Internet Explorer 7 by (1) chosing the option on required settings page, (2) right clicking on the search icon to change/add defalt search provider, and (3) using the TEST option. Each time, I get a message at the bottom of the page that says "(!) Error on Page". Please help. I HATE Bing!

How can I debug a Japanese-language Google search?
On our site: soysource.net I have added the sample code from your website (see Add a Google Search to your Website) to the bottom of ours, I customized it into Japanese a bit. If I search something in Roman characters like "Hiroshi", I can get a number of hits. However, when I click on one of the links, it takes me to the splash page of the site and not to the actual page I was searching for. However, if I click on "cached" in the search results I do reach the page I am looking for. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?

How do I change the default search engine in Safari on my Apple iPhone?
I don't know how it changed, but suddenly the default search engine on my Apple iPhone 3G is Yahoo, not Google. Now I like Yahoo as much as the next guy, but I really want Google back. How the heck do I change the default search engine in Safari??

How to convert currency (aka fun Google tricks)
What's the easiest way to do currency conversions online? I've heard that you can do it with Google itself, but I've never had any luck.

How can I add a YouTube search to my site?
I'm addicted. First it was America's Funniest Home Videos, now it's YouTube. There are just too darn many hilarious videos on the site. What I really want, though, is to be able to add a YouTube search to my own site so people can easily find all the funny stuff there. Is that doable?

How can I add a new search engine to Firefox?
I think we're kindred spirits, Dave. I spend way too much of my time on the Internet Movie DB and would like to cut out a step: is there any way in Firefox that I can have the little search box on the address bar go directly to IMDB?

I read your note about how to add an Amazon.com search box to your site and it's very cool, but what I want to know is: What if I want the search to only search a certain keyword, Example "Honda Parts"?

Which search engines are most popular?
What I was wondering is are their stats on what percentage of users use which search engines. Out of Google, Yahoo! Search, MSN, AOL, AltaVista, AllTheWeb, and LookSmart what percentage does of the users does Google have and so on. Just trying to guage and advise customers on which pay per click medium offers the best bang for your buck. From your book Google is obviously the leader but the others have less viewers and also less advertisers I assume.
Thanks and again I really enjoyed your Google book and am having each of my employees read it.

How can I improve my Google results?
I've been reading lots of different material and I'm convinced that better search engine results will help me drive more visitors to my site and hopefully turn more of them into customers. What I don't understand is
how to do that. Can you tell me the easiest way I can proceed? No books, though, I don't have the patience to read...
