A simple example of using ajax to display search results from Google

By : mgscox

This script uses the Google API to render search results in a scrolling window that's constantly updated in the background - no more next page!!!

I wrote this as a bit of fun, then thought it might be useful to someone; so the code isn't great but it should be sufficiently well commented for anyone to see how it works.

To install, simply upload all the files to your server and access index.php in your browser.

Tested using IE6 and Firefox under Windows XP/ Apache.

You will need a Google API number which you get by registering for a Google account at www.google.com/accounts
