(And, yes, it supports Firefox too!)

Today, we’re proud to announce the launch of the Live Search Box, to bring the power of search to your Web site or blog through a cool widget. Check it out:

When the user enters a query, the search box dynamically builds a floating <DIV> on your page to display the search results. You can customize the query in the first tab to search your site, your macro or anything else, while the second tab will return general web search results. The floating <DIV> will position itself appropriately, whether you decide to place the box on the left, right, top, or bottom of your Web site.

The search box also comes in a pure-HTML flavor:

The HTML version is a simple <Form> element that you can paste into your site and which will redirect search results back to the http://www.live.com/ page. You can customize this search box to search either a specific Web site or the entire Web.
 
Sound like fun? Check it out on search.live.com/siteowner, and let us know what you think. And keep your eyes open for a few posts on hacking the search box in the next couple of days. Note this feature is currently only officially supported for the US market.

Happy Halloween,
— Nathan Buggia, Live Search Marketing
