Google Search + Website Search...

Hi folks. I'm wondering how I would set things up so that my site would have a radio button where the user can choose a google or a site search and use the same text field to do both...
Thanks,

Googleajaxsearch
I've installed this component and finally got a search block coming up. I type in the field and click search and nothing happens. I have an api key for localhost and I'm connected. If I turn on some of the "block searchers", they work.
Anyone got any tips?
And also, how would I get it to output the choices with radio buttons (web, local) searches.
I've got the search itself
I've got the search itself working. I am having a hard time with the Ajax Search Result Location now. If I leave the Enable Search From Root box unchecked, I get my tabs as I would assume in the same block as the search. I want the results in a different div, so I created a div:
<div id="googleResults" ></div>
and entered googleResults in the "Type in div id in which you want to display results:" field. I now get no results at all.
Has anyone got an idea how to get this working?
Ideally, it would be in the
<div class="contentholder">div, however I see reference to ID, so I tried both and neither worked.googleajaxsearch - code snippet for displaying results
Not sure if it applies to your situation, but I posted a code snippet here for displaying results.
As for the radio button, it might be easier to just use Google's CSE code for rendering the search form, but I'm not 100% certain.
