I’m going to put a Google Search box this weekend if I get sometime. Although right now I’m not planning to display any ads on this blog (I’ll wait till the traffic goes above 1,000 unique visitors per day) putting the Google Search box will provide you with a better search facility compared to WordPress default search function.
You can easily put the Google Search box on your blog or website and earn money with AdSense ads. There is a simple method of putting the Google Search box and there is a complex method. The simple method involves just copying/pasting a few lines of code and you are ready to go. With the complex method you can define the layout of the search result page and make it look like your own blog or website.
I think you should spend some time and make the search result page look like your layout and here are two excellent blog posts that tell you how to do it:
