I'm afraid I'm probably being naughty but I decided to post this here as it isn't to do with Links2 Customization....it isn't really to do with Links2 at all infact, however it _could_ be slightly Links2 related due to the recent threads about Google/Dmoz etc.
Anyway, I've just finished the first beta of my Google search script.
It will allow you to grab results from Google and format them into your site. It isn't currently integrated with Links2 but as it already uses templates then it should be fairly easy to port over to Links2 - I'm happy for anyone to do that and post the changes here, or I'll do it myself if I get round to it.
It was tricky getting the parsing right and occassionally on the results pages some unexpected links appear like stock quotes which don't parse properly and so become dead links, but this is very rare.
You can see a demo here:

If anyone is interested in this then I'll post a link so you can download it.
There are still changes to be made and hopefully I can neaten up the code but it seems to work well as it is, but I'll update it every so often.
Sorry for posting this somewhat offtopic post but I just thought that the code could be ported to Links2 eventually.
EDIT: I've added some more search options since I mentioned the script in Bmxers thread the other day
