How to make a combined search box with different URLs?


I want to create a search box that will combine search URLs and combine the results.

So if I wanted to Use Google Web Search and Google Image Search, I would use www.google.com/search?q= and www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&biw=1280&bih=905&q= and then I would have:

Search: https://www.google.com/search?q=cats & https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&hl=en&biw=1280&bih=905&q=cats

Cats Website Link Description

Picture of a cat

(sorted by relevancy)

Is this even possible? I know that it has been done with dogpile, but all I want to do is combine a couple different Google products so I can search my documents, my images, etc.

Note: I have no experience with Javascript, PHP, Ajax, or search boxes.

Thanks, Ian.


Solution

  • It should be achievable with the Google Custom Search API, but you will need to learn a programming language.
