I like the idea of a search box. I created a Google custom search

We can embed this search box and even the search results on the LyX
site
with a small HTML/JS code snippet, but AFAIK those are not enabled.
However, I think this would be useful.
Note: the search engine takes seconds to create, in case someone
wants to
create one of his own and tweak the settings.

By the way, here is the code snippet to embed the search box:
Hi,
I tried embedding it here:
http://www.lyx.org/test/wiki/index.php/Web/Test
unfortunately it doesn't seem to work... Do you know how this should
work?
(I just embedded the code snippets you gave me without doing any
thinking...)

That's right; I forgot to specify the form action. Here's how to do it.
Paste this code in the page where we want the search box to appear.
Note: change action="" to action="SomePage", where we want the results
to appear.
<!-- Google CSE Search Box Begins -->
<form action="" id="cse-search-box">
<input type="hidden" name="cx"
value="008972033992887248866:oarvwprmgvo" />
<input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:11" />
<input type="text" name="q" size="25" />
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.google.com/coop/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&lang=en";></script>
<!-- Google CSE Search Box Ends -->
Then paste the following code on http:// (the different page specified
above), where we want the search results to appear.
<!-- Google Search Result Snippet Begins -->
<div id="cse-search-results"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var googleSearchIframeName = "cse-search-results";
var googleSearchFormName = "cse-search-box";
var googleSearchFrameWidth = 600;
var googleSearchDomain = "www.google.com";
var googleSearchPath = "/cse";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
