why would some one want a search engine like googles anyway I would prepare one that is actually a search engine such as altavista. Cos google dosent acutally crawl the net so it normaly doesnt pick up the more rare sites on the net and so thats why I dotn even atempt to use it any more I would prefer to get the doggy sites as well as the rare and good site than just normal main stream sites...

google aint my choice search engine and I wouldnt wanna download their source...and how can google take the script if it is only based upon their technology and not actually the search engine they use...maybe its cos of the name "google"...but legally it would be fine if it didnt have google in its name....

Contrary to what most people believe, the PHPGoogle script isn't a search engine. Rather, it is a interface to the Google API, which uses Google's index. Once again, the script does not search your site - it uses the Google Web service to get the search results from Google. You aren't making a search engine. I thought that his layout on the results page was a copright infringement. Oh well, there goes another nice script.
