Google Scholar redux

Google wouldn't let me put a Google Scholar search box hereabouts. Well, that's not strictly accurate: they wouldn't let me take the <TABLE> tags and border elements out so that the page would still be valid XHTML 1.0 Strict (or, as it more usually is, valid XHTML 1.0 Not-Counting-Ampersands-In-URLs). That seemed a little needless to me.

Well, things have changed. The Google Scholar searchbox terms of service have gone all complicated, and there are example modules for the Google Homepage that use the Google Fusion API and Google Base to add extra searchboxes. The goalposts have shifted. So I've become a programmer:

  1. Take the modified searchbox HTML I wrote earlier
  2. Wrap it in the module XML as specified in the API
  3. Upload to Google Base
  4. Add to my Google homepage

Here it is:

The code is at http://base.google.com/base/a/1040659/6208845733264550245. Try it: Add to Google
