Web Search API 2.0
Google has released a new version of software interfaces to access its main search engine. A distinctive feature of the JavaScript library is support for Ajax technologies.
Using the Google Ajax Search API library, you can integrate on your site many of the features of Google search engine, including web search, local search, video search and blog search. Moreover, you can combine search results from all of these sources.
Here is a small example of how the implementation of Ajax software interfaces with the integration of various search results looks like in practice. A query is entered in the search box above, and the results are updated without reloading the page.

Developers have the opportunity to customize the search panel to your taste: choose one or other search sources, customize the look. To access the interfaces, the developer must register and receive an API key. The library can be used free of charge even on commercial websites, with the exception of sites with paid content and corporate sites.
The Google Ajax Search API supports Firefox, Safari and IE 6 browsers. The library has just been published in beta, it is still at an early, experimental development stage (version 0.1). It is likely that in the future it will be seriously refined and improved. Version 1.0 will probably contain major changes in the code and most likely will also deliver contextual advertising along with the main search results.
However, now some experts are of the opinion that the Google Ajax Search API is perhaps the best software interface that Google has ever released. Only interfaces to geographical maps of Google Maps, which have become the basis for thousands of web applications of various types, can compete with them. But cartography still has a very limited scope, so the Google Ajax Search API library should become much more popular.
Attention is drawn to the fact that Google has consistently pursued a policy of supporting third-party developers. They are constantly opening software interfaces to various services, and recently this process seems to be accelerated. More recently, Gdata (data exchange protocol for the online organizer) and AdSense API were released , and now powerful Ajax Search interfaces.
