To take advantage of local search functionality, take a look at the AJAX Search API. The samples are also particularly useful.
The Google AJAX Search API lets you put Google Search in your web pages with JavaScript. You can embed a simple, dynamic search box and display search results in your own web pages or use the results in innovative, programmatic ways.
For Flash, and other Non-Javascript environments, the API exposes a raw RESTful interfaceNew! that returns JSON encoded results that are easily processed by most languages and runtimes.
The Google AJAX Search API provides simple web objects that perform inline searches over a number of Google services (Web Search, Local Search, Video Search, Blog Search, News Search, Book Search, Image Search, and Patent Search). If your web page is designed to help users create content (e.g. message boards, blogs, etc.), the API is designed to support these activities by allowing them to copy search results directly into their messages.
