Hi,

On your search form you pass the text box value to your javascript
function.

either

onsubmit="myFunction(this);return false;"

or

onsubmit="myFunction(this.textBox.value);return false;"

function myFunction(q){
 // Google API Search Control
 searchControl.execute(q);
 // Your Other Searcher Function
 otherSearcher.whatever(q);
}

Since I can't see any of your code I can't be more specific ;)

If you can provide a link to your app or paste your code in paste-it
(http://paste-it.net/) or something I may be able to be a bit more
specific. :)
