Multiple search with ajax on your blog

I recently became aware of one superb possibility to include an ajax search in your own blog. I do have to mention, thought, that this is only described for Blogger beta, so to all other bloggers out there who saw a light in the end of a tunnell, sorry guys. Read no futher.The rest of you who a fortunate to be Beta bloggers, keep reading.

I obtained the ajax script from Hoctro's Place, who has done the hacking of the Google Ajax API. He has also described what you need to do, to include the ajax search into you own beta blogger blog, in a straight forward and simple guide. I've tried it myself, and the conclusion it that the process itself is very easy, and consists of only four steps:

1. Get an Ajax API key (don't worry, it really easy)
2. Kopi the code (css and script) which goes to the head of the template
3. Kopi and place the search script in the sidebar
4. kopi and place the search results script where you like it.

All these steps are explained thoroughly in the guide, so don't worry to much about this. Its not a disadvantage to have some knowledge with costumizing the template before you do this, though.


Thanks, Hoctro, for this excellent script.
