I've slapped together a silly google-in-a-frame portal. You put your search request into a top-left frame. It then drops google results in small little nuggets down a thin left pane, under the request. When you hover over each link, it gives you the link google details in a tooltip (ala DHTML). When you click, of course, the right pane fills with the result. You can flip around in the results at lightning speed.

I've slapped together a little google-in-a-frame portal. You put your search request into a top-left frame.

Try it here.

The html and perl code is here. Consider it GPL'ed. My search form (portal_nav.html) feeds into the perl processor (google_framed_results.pl), which takes the request, forms an official google request, gets the result, and parses it into the desired result.

Development Notes

August 28, 2006 Google changed format in the last week or two. I am digging in to fix it - not sure if it's the search form or the search results yet. Either way, google_framed_results.pl needs to be updated to match.
