Dear All

I'm project manager for Wales on the Web (www.walesontheweb.org).

We have built our own search engine, but if the user receives 0 results 
then they are automatically sent to Google by using their API service.

We use our own style sheets so it appears that they are still within the 
site.

It seems to work. It certainly ensures that 0 results appear!
