Just like the googleSearch component
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,4903/Itemid,35/
the search results are displayed right inside your Joomla 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 News 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 News, I have used the method similar to mod_wrapper to include the Google News 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!
Latest Version
==============
v1.0.1 (for Joomla 1.0) and v1.5.1 (for Joomla 1.5)
Released January 12, 2009

Excellent module at the begining, but after 2 weeks Google STOPED the news and left a link to google news. This is nice start and last for one week. Waste of time. I hope some one should call Google and fix this nonsense interuption.
