OK it works but maybe I'm doing something wrong because I end up with 2 search boxes.
Step 1 1. I created the tiddler with your code - and I think that tiddler functions as a macro? 2. I give the tiddler an appropriate name - I'm just using yours right now 3. I end up with a tiddler with a Google search box that works normally. Step 2 1. I create another Tiddler and "call" the macro using my Google code - <<tiddler "search" with: "005363762118272804545:_p_mxkqgbak">> 2. I end up with another Tiddler with a Google search box that uses my parameters. That's perfect! However, why do I have to have 2 search boxes or can I put my google code somewhere in your Macro code?
