   Hello, I am trying to create a custom google search engine, however I don't want to use the google search form I want to use the existing wordpress form, however I would like to pass it the variable that is being searched. How can I accomplish this what do I need to put into this code to have it work the way I want?

   google.load("search", "1");
   
       function OnLoad() {
         // Create a search control
         var searchControl = new google.search.SearchControl();
   
         // Add in a full set of searchers
         var localSearch = new google.search.LocalSearch();
         searchControl.addSearcher(localSearch);
         searchControl.addSearcher(new google.search.WebSearch());
         searchControl.addSearcher(new google.search.VideoSearch());
         searchControl.addSearcher(new google.search.BlogSearch());
   
         // Set the Local Search center point
         localSearch.setCenterPoint("New York, NY");
   
         // Tell the searcher to draw itself and tell it where to attach
         searchControl.draw(document.getElementById("searchcontrol"));
   
         // Execute an inital search
         searchControl.execute("Google");
       }
       google.setOnLoadCallback(OnLoad);

   I think some wordpress search variable or key needs to be passed into searchControl.execute("Google"); where "Google" is.

   Thanks for any help .
