The AJAX Search API allows you to easily integrate some very powerful and diverse Google based search mechanisms or "controls" onto a Web page with relatively minimal coding. These include:
- Web Search: This is a traditional search input field where, when a query is entered, a series of text search results appear on the page.
- Local Search: With Local Search, a Google Map is mashed together with a search input field and the search results are based on a specific location.
- Video Search: The AJAX Video Search provides the ability to offer compelling video search along with accompanying video based search results.
Other search controls also included in the AJAX Search API are Google News Search, Blog Search, and Book Search; each offer enhanced and specialized search capabilities.
