There are a number of ways that you can do this, but it will all  
depend on how you're implementing your page, and how flexible you want  
the thing to be. Unfortunately, I think that simply writing the code  
for you is probably beyond the scope of free help, but you should be  
able to glean the basic principles you'll need through the Search API  
and Maps API documentation and the API Playground.

Maps API docs

API Playground
http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?exp=search
http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?exp=maps

Basically, what you're going to want to do is initialize a LocalSearch  
object, set its center point to your map, and set a search complete  
callback that will loop through the results and put markers on the  
map. You can then add onclick listeners to your links that will  
execute the searcher with the appropriate search string.
