How to show Google Search results embedded in my website?

Question

I am using this code in my website to show Google search results for my website :

<!-- Search block -->       
<div class="searchBox">
    <form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search"> 
        <input type="text" name="query" class="searchField" />
        <input type="hidden" name="sitesearch" value="my_website.com">
        <input type="submit" value="" class="searchSubmit">
    </form>
</div>  

I like that simple code and i do not prefer to use Google Custom Search, but is there a way to show the output of this search embedded in a page i specify ?

Bing has a much better terms of use and an excellend API when it comes to site search integration.

It lets you take the XML that is returned and pretty much do whatever you want with it as long as you reference that your search is being powered by Bing somewhere in the result list.

As far as Google results your only option is to use there built in frameing. The fully custom search cost were super high when I looked to do it behind SSL. For more information on Google Custom Search go here http://www.google.com/cse/.

You could read the content from the page with file_get_contents and than read out the parts you need and display them on your page.
