why the need for javascript ? google have a free version of
their sitesearch too:
http://www.google.com/services/free.html
http://www.google.com/faq_freewebsearch.html
it gives less guarantees then the subscription based alternative,
but it gives _exactly_ the same search results for your domain
as the main google.com would have, in other words you lose nothing,
and gain lots :)
