ive done this, where you have a landing page with a form, then it searches your posts, ive done it using youtube api, and other apis as well, as well as just your normal site, say you have 1000 posts with videos, it would display them based on that.

bump for tony

im not sure youre allowed to use adsense on a wordpress search results page. TOS

how was subway?

Hi mate,

this is a theme you can use to turn wordpress into a search engine. It creates a domain parked style landing page , with a search and some ads, and post results...

The design sucks, but you can customize it yourself for something better
