If you google for IMDB, you'll notice that after the sitelinks (the list under the page title) you get a search box. If you type in there the form content is submitted to the search of imdb which in turn returns the results within the imdb site (see screenshot). site search input on google search page http://imageshack.us/a/img593/3320/googlesearchwidget.png
Question is, how can one add this feature?
Also, with some sites on some browsers (i.e. chrome) when you type the domain and hit tab you get a nice Search domain.tld: and anything you type after that is sent to the website's search page (again see second screenshot)

Second question (somehow I get the feeling these two relate) how do I do that on my website?
