Using Google's Search API

I recently wrote a tutorial focused on using one of Google's APIs to integrate a map to your web site and making use of some of its more basic features.  In this article we're going to take a look at another of their APIs; this time, instead of a map, we'll implement the AJAX Search API into a web page that will allow visitors to interact with Google's powerful search services. Like the Maps API, the Search API is a class-based collection of objects that expose the methods and properties needed to make requests and receive results from Google different search facilities.  We'll go through some of the basic objects, and their members, as and when we use them in our script.
