Here i give u another tips for blog search...

PUT GOOGLE SEARCH BOX IN BLOG

To put a single search box (1st option) in your blog, copy and paste the code below into a HTML Page element in the sidebar :


<form action="http://www.google.com/search" method="get"><div style="border: 0px solid black; padding: 4px; width: 20em;"><br /><table border="0" cellpadding="0"><br /><tbody><tr><td><br /><input maxlength="255" value="" name="q" size="25" type="text"><br /><input value="Google Search" type="submit"></td></tr><br /><tr><td style="font-size: 75%;" align="left"><br /><input checked="checked" value="MYBLOG.blogspot.com" name="sitesearch" type="checkbox"> only search this blog</td></tr></tbody></table></div></form>

Change 'MYBLOG' to actual name of your blog.
It will look like this :

only search this blog

If you want to provide an option to search your blog or the Internet (2nd option) use this code instead :

<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search"><div style="border:1px solid black;padding:4px;width:20em;"><table border="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td><input type="text" name="q" size="25" maxlength="255" value=""><input type="submit" value="Google Search"></td></tr><tr><td align="center" style="font-size:75%"><br /><input type="checkbox" name="sitesearch" value="http://YOURBLOGNAME.blogspot.com"> only search this blog<br /></td></tr></table><br /></div></form>

Instead of 'YOURBLOGNAME' put actual name of blog.
It will look like this :

only search this blog
