Custom Google Search

I've created a custom search for Google that only searches Progress Talk. Would it be possible to include the code somewhere on the forums? The search function here is useless really, but the Google search works a treat.

Code:
<div id="cse" style="width: 100%;">Loading</div>
<script src="http://www.google.co.uk/jsapi" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> 
  google.load('search', '1', {language : 'en', style : google.loader.themes.V2_DEFAULT});
  google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
    var customSearchOptions = {};  var customSearchControl = new google.search.CustomSearchControl(
      '013278769404190420395:bajdlveo-_y', customSearchOptions);
    customSearchControl.setResultSetSize(google.search.Search.FILTERED_CSE_RESULTSET);
    customSearchControl.draw('cse');
  }, true);
</script>

Leading on from this, the Progress public Knowledge Bases are now available via Google and a useful searching tip:
On July 25th Progress announced that content from the Progress public Knowledge Bases were available via Google. Today we want to pass along a best practice to make searching the Progress Knowledge base via Google more effective:

Doing a search for:

progress transaction scoping

Returns a number of results from the Knowledge Base, but they begin about halfway down the result page.

To improve the relevance of the results, perform the search as:

progress transaction scoping site:knowledgebase.progress.com

This will return the results from the Progress Knowledge Base at the very top of the result set.

Today Progress sent out an alert:

Thanks to Tim Kuehn for passing this helpful tip along and happy Googling!
Heavy Regards, RealHeavyDude.
