How to Add Google Search Bars That Stay on My Site
Google provides a "Custom Search Engine" that can be added to your website. You decide which websites the search engine checks, what it looks like and where it appears on your site. The ad-supported version of Google's Custom Search Engine is free. If you want to remove the ads and obtain additional features, upgrade to a paid package.
