Hi, can someone tell me wheather I can use other website`s search engine and then taking its result to be shown on my own webpage? Is it require the service of SOAP?
Adapting other webpage`s info
It's always possible if you want to use frames.
Not sure what you exactly want but most of the times you can submit the query with a POST or GET var. Then you might be able to get the results and put them on your own site with curl but I have no idea on how to do that.

Yes you can. Search engines like google offer search results as webservices. You can make a webservice request, parse the result xml and display the data in whatever way you want.
For more details on google webservice, check this out. http://www.google.com/apis/
Thanks for the suggestions, I will try it out and see.. I have encountered the SOAP service in my PHP reference book... Can some one let me know how to apply it on PHP and what is the service is up to?
