Just like the googleSearch component,
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/4903/details
the search results are displayed right inside your Joomla page!
No more popup page.
No more diversion to other pages.
Available for both Joomla 1.0.x and native 1.5.x!
Live Demo
=========
You can see the Google Book Search component/module live in action by clicking the demo link above.
Unique Features
===============
Since Google did not release any API for searching its Google Books, I have used the method similar to mod_wrapper to include the Google Book Search through iFrame. However, unlike some other iFrame implementations, this component/module pair has some unique features:
* The accompanying module allows you to add a search form as a module. This means that you can place the search form in any module position you like.
* You can define your own watermark text in the search field.
* You can add two Google Ads - one above and one below the search results!
