Google's AJAX Search API Says 'Hello, World'

The search control displays itself within the web page through a call to the GSearchControl draw() method; this method also binds the search control onto your page (within the DOM). By default, a search control draws in a "linear" layout; you may also instruct the control to draw in a "tabbed" layout.

A user initiates a search by entering search terms into the search control's text field followed by pressing the ENTER key or clicking on the search button to the right of the input field. The search control will automatically begin a parallel search across the requested Google services. You may also initiate a search programmatically by calling the search control's execute() method, passing an argument of search terms.
