Google's Web Search vs. Your Site Search
Do you ever notice that when you generate HTML/JavaScript code for the Google Search Box and for Your Site Search that the little black dot always stays on the Google Web Search instead of Your Site Search?
Well, if you would like that little black dot to stay on your site instead of on the Web for your Google Search Box, I will explain how simple it is to change. Go to your HTML/Java Script code for the Google Search Box, scroll down until you see 'Search the Web'. Delete the the word 'checked' (shown in red in image below) that is in front of 'value' for searching the Web, now add the word 'checked' in front of your 'value'(shown in blue).

This way your visitors will search from within your site for their information and will also have the option to click on the Web for further searching if need be.
I have often wondered how to do this and while I was visiting one of MyBlogLog community members, I noticed that her Google Search box had the dot stay on her site for search. I wanted it to work that way for me too, so I wrote her a private message through MyBlogLog and she answered me right away. I want to give credit where credit is due, so I thank you for all your help and quick response to my question. I would also like to invite others to give her a visit at WEB 2.0 DIRECTORY: EXAMPLES AND USEFUL SITES.
Resizing Widgets and Google's Search Box
Resizing widgets and Google's Search Box to fit better in your sidebar can be done at the time of preview before generating the code. All you need to do is change the pixel or character width. As an example for the:
MyBlogLog widget has a standard pixel width of 180. Change it to 150 or less so that it doesn't encroach on your written text.
Google's Search Box has the recommended 31 characters. Change the width to less than that, it will change right there in front of you as you change the number, so experiment with it. You can also change the logo to be be on either side, top or bottom of the Google Search Box . Generate your HTML/JavaScript code, copy and paste it into your Page Elements or Template.

Adding a Search Box to My Blog
Adding a search box to my blog for your convenience was on my agenda today. You can search the web or my blog about a specific topic. There are many helpful topics here and it is always easier to type a few keywords into the search box to find exactly what you are looking for. This should help you navigate around this blog more efficiently.... Please contact me if you are looking for something in particular that you didn't see listed here on my blog. I will be glad to research the topic myself and get back with you via email.
Also as a reminder to all bloggers who haven't switched over to The New Version of Blogger, you will find Helpful Resources for New Bloggers still very helpful, especially if you're using the Classic template or have switched over to the Classic template from The New Version of Blogger.
