  My site does not SEO well. If it's really confident about a result, it'll only give 1 or 2 results. i.e. http://foobub.com/?s=cats http://foobub.com/?s=cats If it's kinda confused, it gives multiple results and ranks the site by most likely: http://foobub.com/?s=what%20is%20the%20answer%20to%20life%20and%20everything http://foobub.com/?s=what%20is%20the%20answer%20to%20life%20... If it has no what you're doing, it'll search it on Google for you: http://foobub.com/?s=foobub http://foobub.com/?s=foobub My website is not yet self-aware. No need to worry, guys.

    It is unfortunate that doing so takes you away from the site (I imagine the basic use case right now is to type in a bunch of queries to see what it displays.) Ideally, it would show Google search results in an iframe, although I imagine that is against their TOS. Maybe just linking to Google search results would be a better experience.

      Or you can use a similar deal to what duckduckgo does.
