I haven't done this before, but from the example I think you have this
backwards.

> <form ACTION=3D"http://www.google.com/linux">

I think that this you want to leave at: http://www.google.com/custom.=20
This the CGI that the data is passed to.  I'm betting that there isn't
more than one of these.

> <input TYPE=3D"hidden" NAME=3D"site" VALUE=3D"search">
> <input TYPE=3D"hidden" NAME=3D"restrict" VALUE=3D"linux">
> <input TYPE=3D"hidden" NAME=3D"hl" VALUE=3D"en">
> <input TYPE=3D"hidden" NAME=3D"num" VALUE=3D"50">
> <input TYPE=3D"hidden" NAME=3D"lr" VALUE=3D"lang_en">
> <input TYPE=3D"hidden" NAME=3D"ie" VALUE=3D"ISO-8859-1">
> <input TYPE=3D"hidden" NAME=3D"safe" VALUE=3D"off">

You left off the DOMAINS input from the previous example:

<INPUT TYPE=3D"HIDDEN" NAME=3D"DOMAINS" VALUE=3D"www.gentoo.org">

I'm think this is where you would set the scope of the search.  So if
you wanted it to search linux.com you would make the value like this:

<INPUT TYPE=3D"HIDDEN" NAME=3D"DOMAINS" VALUE=3D"linux.com">

Because it's plural I imagine there is some way to list the values in
this field.  Probably commas or semicolons.

> <input TYPE=3Dtext NAME=3D"q" SIZE=3D"16" MAXLENGTH=3D"2048" VALUE=3D"">
> <input TYPE=3Dsubmit NAME=3DbtnG VALUE=3D"Go">=20
> </form>

		Have fun,
