Bryne: Hehe, in this case, I’ll have to admit defeat in my WP evangelism. But truthfully, it is entirely possible to manually create a static page with the same template as my WP blog – with some uhh.. minor loss in functionality, e.g. recent comments in my case. So, the verdict: I’ll take WP over MT anytime.

P.S.: I still have blogs running MT, so no offence intended.

There is still a problem with the width, but I worked around this by eliminating the sidebar from the results page and everything seems to work just fine. Any ideas for a more elegant work around would be welcome.

There are just a few steps to accomplish this.

Duplicate your theme’s achieve.php, replace the loop with Google’s code, and put in the beginning of this new file:


<?php
/*
Template Name: Search Results
*/
?>

Edit the page you’ve created and change the page template to Search Results.

I’ve removed the sidebars because it would be too wide, but it isn’t necessary if you don’t whant.

You can see it working in my blog (the URL in my name ).
