Hello Mr.Lyte the ajax search you have on your blog is the theme one but this one is supported by Google
Ad trust me Google Ajax Search is no ordinary search service
Yo DJ,
Does the Google Ajax Search here be able to make use of a Adsense for Search code? Or is it just a normal search tool?
It will be cool if we can implement Adsense for Search inside it.
Hi DJ,
when I was searching for the ajax based search on blog, I had installed this, but then I removed it. Now I’ll place it again based on your recommendation.

Google ajax search is a normal search tool and it does not have adsense integrated in it
However you can have a blend your adsense ads amd put ads near it so that the search results look like the advertisements. This can help you attain a good CTR
Nirmal This will definitely make your blog look High Tech
Hey DJ, will we get some bucks if somebody clicks on the sponsored links at the bottom of the search results?
Mr.Byte Yes you can make revenue out of Google sponsored linls in case you are using Google Coop
But as Google Ajax Search is merely a plugin and does not require any adsense integration so No in case of Google Ajax Search
thanks, very nice for wp blog…
