How to wrap Google Search results within my index.php?

[iKiran]

I have Google AdSense and AdSearch enabled on my site. When I search with the Google AdSearch, it takes me to a new page out of my site.

Can I alter it such a way that when the search is performed, the results appear wrapped within my index.php so that the user never leaves the confines of my site unless he clicks on an ad or a result link?

Thank you

it's possible to do almost anything you want in PHP.

Oh! Will that be against the TOS then?
I better forget it!

Thanks for telling me about this!

frame, minimize, remove or otherwise inhibit the full and complete display of any Web page accessed by an end user after clicking on any part of an Ad ("Advertiser Page") or any Google-hosted Web page that contains Ads and/or Search Results ("Search Results Page");

That means you can do it, but you cannot modify any of the code that is displayed AFTER they type in a search phrase. But it is OK for the search results to look like part of your site. And any links they click on from the search results must open a new window and cannot be encapsulated into your web site.
