Creating a 'Google" search for your site.

A lot of people have asked how to have a search engine on their site that searches the entire website, kind of like Google, Yahoo, MSN does. Well, here you go.

Code: 
<html>
<head>
<title>Google Search</title>
<meta name="author" content="GUJUm0deL">

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT>
function googleSearch() {
  if (document.doingasearch.searchbox.value!="") {    
      window.open("http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=" + document.doingasearch.searchbox.value) ;        
  }
  else {
    alert("Please enter something to search.")
	document.doingasearch.searchbox.focus();
  }
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<table width="700" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td><div align="center">Type any search criteria in the textfield and this 
        will search it on google. <br>
        <br>
        <em>Search results opens in a new window.</em></div></td>
