Adding Google, Yahoo, etc. searches to your site
not an SEO question, but this forum is the most fitting.

Im looking for a way to add search features to a website via google, yahoo, etc. without having the user leave the website or opening a new browser window

for example, go to www.cnn.com and use the search bar at the top of the page. the yahoo! results will be displayed on the cnn site.

how is this done? can it be done for google and ask.com as well?

Google has an API that you can use to do similar, or you can just put a search box on your site (API is limited to 1000 searches per day).

http://www.google.com/apis/
http://www.google.com/faq_freewebsearch.html

I couldn't find anything on ask or yahoo about adding search boxes to your site, but it shouldn't be hard to do.Then again if you want the search results in your template/on your site, then you need to so a screen scrape of the search engines.

Are you referring to users searching your own site, or searching the web?

If you are looking for a service that will let users search your own site, then look at ht.dig (don't remember the spelling). Also, if your info is storing in a mysql database, then mysql has search features built in.

I'm guessing yahoo only provides this service for large sites like cnn, who probably pay them a lot of money for the privledge.

They do from where I am sitting. The code that is included in the Yahoo page is as follows. As usual with most search box codes, you will have to modify it to make it compliant (deprecated code again )
html4strict Code:
Original - html4strict Code 
  1. <!-- Begin Yahoo Search Form -->
  2. <form method="GET" action="http://search.yahoo.com/search">
  3.    <img src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/yahootogo/ytg_search.gif" width=98 height=23 align=top alt="[ Yahoo! ]">
  4.    <input type="text" name="p" value="" size=18>
  5.    <input type="submit" name="name">
  6.    <font size=1>
  7.    <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/search/options">options</a>
  8.    </font>
  9. </form>
