Is there any ideas of how google search makes web site screenshot previews?

No idea how google does it but with Awesomium it's pretty easy.

We upgraded to Universal Analytics about a year ago and since upgrading our Site Search isn't displaying the keywords within our Analytics account, or even tracking the number of times it is used.
This is a problem as a marketer as I like to know what people are looking for so that I can provide them relevant content.
All I can find on the Google blog is this:
https://support.google.com/customsearch/answer/2715510
'At this time, Google Custom Search Engine, is not compatible with Universal Analytics.'
Has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can get this data back? Are there any other custom site searches that I could use instead? Are Google even looking at this?
Google CSE is using old _gaq calls for analytics, it can be mimicked by adding following code line at the end of universal GA snippet:
_gaq={push:function(){ga('send','pageview',arguments[0][1]);}}
View - View settings - Site search settings is on and correctly tuned?
I'm trying to use Google Tag Manager for a site created using Google classic Sites, but I haven't had any luck so far. This question seems to have been up on a few forums, but I was not able to find any definitive answer to this end.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
You've probably seen this page - Configure Google Analytics for Google Sites, but I don't believe there is a way to add custom javascript to a google sites page, at least not yet. You might be better off buying your own domain and hosting it somewhere if you want access to GTM.
You can now use the 'embed' option in google sites to add arbitrary html/css/javascript to the site. I added the tracking code created by google tag manager and embedded it in the footer of my google site.

recently there was a section at foursquare.com website with the list of all applications. However now it is not accessible for some reason. I even have the link stored in Google Search results with guide to foursquare "page not found" error:
https://foursquare.com/app/jet_lovers__your_flight_club
Does anyone have the idea what happened?
We took it down to make some improvements -- a new version will be up eventually.
I want to share an HTML page for the team in the company where I work, part of which is outsourced. Instead of making a webpage for it, is there a Google service where we could upload the html?
try this service : https://sites.google.com
Are you thinking of https://sites.google.com/ ?
Have you tried Google Sites? It seems to fit your needs.
Is there any way to add google search results into your site such that the results appear under your domain (and the page doesn't get redirected to google.com)? I know about google cse but this is not a free solution. Is paying for CSE the only way? Thanks.
Use the Google AJAX Search API (my emphasis):
The Google AJAX Search API lets you
put Google Search in your web pages
with JavaScript. You can embed a
simple, dynamic search box and display
search results in your own web pages
or use the results in innovative,
programmatic ways.
You just need JavaScript - nothing server-side.
You could use Google Search API.
You could also query Google search engine through a Web Service. Here's the WSDL and here's the FAQ. But I think this will be discontinued in favor of the first suggestion I gave.
I've never used this but if you're into python check out Python Library for Google Search from Peteris Krumins’ blog.
What about this? http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/web.html
And there should be even API for PHP etc.
