Requirement:

Creating the form(index.htm):

<form action=“google.php” method=“get” name=“query_form”>

Even you can create more widgets just by changing the URLs. I’m mentioning few search URLs:

  • Live Search : http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=
  • Youtube : http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=
