google search in my website - search

Is it legal to use the google search results in my own website not using the google custom search that google provides?
I have 2 different cases:
The first is that I design a search box, with a google logo and provide options so the user selects which type of content (web, images, videos...), and the the results open in a new window with the normal google search results page. it means I submit the the search query from my website to the google search results.
The second is that I design both the search box and the results page so that the results are shown in my website instead of the google search results page.
I found an example for this:

NB: In both of the cases I will include a google logo and link to the original google.com website as credit.
So which of the two cases or are they both legal?
Thanks.

You may be able to use the Google AJAX API for your purposes. See:
Am I allowed to use the Google AJAX Search API on my site?
Google also provides documentation for developers and example code.
For the legality of specific uses, you should refer to Google AJAX Search API Terms of Use and a lawyer. Good thing you said you don't want to use custom search, because the Google Custom Search Terms of service seem to specifically exclude using it with new windows and within frames in sections 1.4(b) and 1.4(c).

Google Search Engine showing results for different keywords instead of typed one?

Whenever I want to search for my Android APPS which are developed under publisher Nixion (suppose it). Instead of displaying that APPS developed by Nixion, it displays other keyword contents. Same thing happens with me when I search on PlayStore. Is there any thing provided so that I can request Google to include this word as keyword in PlayStore & Web Search Engine.

Yes, you may refer to this guide for the steps on how to add, edit, or remove your keywords.
And in addition to that, you may want to also check this article for more information regarding how suggestions can vary by Region and Language and most of all how Google instant’s Autocomplete suggestions work.

Image search integration

I'm looking for a solution, where users of my site can use an image search engine (e.g. Google), instead of uploading an image, they can search and pick one of the results.
My problem is:
Google image search API is deprecated!
Google custom search requires me to add "sites to search" when creating a custom search API key. However, I do not want to search my own site, I want to search the internet!
Which Google API is ment to search images on the internet?
Would it be plausible to include normal image search in an iframe, and somehow capture an image selection (i.e. when clicked)?
Google made it really difficult:

http://support.google.com/customsearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1210656
TL;DR: You have to use Google custom search, add a random site when creating the API key, afterwards you can tweak the settings to search the entire web instead.
Have you checked out LTU technology?
I found this url which JSON - seems to be the top results when searching google images:

How to Tell if Click Came from Google Search

I'd like to know if there is a way to detect whether the user has entered the website from an Organic Link from Google on certain key words?
What I am trying to do is provide additional information to appear to those who found my site via Google?
Thanks!
Use Google Analytics
Sign up for an account and just add a small snippet of Javascript to your site. It's really easy to set up and track links from google and even the exact search terms used!

How to add google search results on your site?

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.

Icons to use in a program generating feeds for Google Search Appliance

We're developing a program that generates search feeds for Google Search Appliance. We would like to use icons that would be associated with Google Search Appliance in the program interface.
Is there a list of icons Google officially allows to use in such cases?
I am afraid not. You need to ask for Googles permission as they want to maintain the integrety of their brand
Google Logos
