Polybore has been experimenting with Google AJAX Search API

If you have a few YouTube videos you would like to show of on your blog it is a pretty cool way of doing it.
Polybore has added one to their blog and is pretty happy with it. It is easy to generate the bar with the YouTube wizard. However polybore has tweaked the code a bit to limit the displayed videos to only polybore's. Further tweaking required.
It takes a moment or two to load but does not hold up the rest of the page. Would appreciate some feedback on what you think of the one added to polybore's blog. Like, does it need a title? Is it a waste of space?
Anyway thought this might be useful info for some.

I like it a lot!-
Thanks. It is pretty nifty. Hope google develop it a bit more. Because it is based on search terms it is difficult to show exactly the videos one would like. Has promise though. Glad you like it.

Thumbs up!-
Thanks TT. Was worried it was not adding enough to include it but because it is fairly unobtrusive and the videos are blog related it probably does add content that might interest a visitor.

Yeah I like it, good job implementing the API If you need help customizing the code at all, let me know I'm good with javascript.-
Thanks for that codesucker. Polybore will be in touch have been playing around with the script but and it has been throwing up some unexpected behaviours.
Polybore can work out what is going on in a script and modify it but if it starts doing unexpected stuff don’t have the knowledge of JavaScript to debug.
