Hi, A few things need to be addressed there. You can't (I'm pretty sure, but I am not a lawyer) have the Google branding on the form if your using it to execute a search for another app/api. So, I added a custom form instead and moved the Google branding to the results that are being generated by Google. Again, you may want to check the TOS to make sure this (meaning your use) is compliant with their terms (regarding mixing results)
http://paste-it.net/public/m600992/ In the function myHandler replace the alert with your other call. Also, you will probably want to strip out any code from being added to your code (via the search form) to prevent any code injection into your app also ;) (the "q" in the myHandler function) Cheers!
