Stick the following on a webpage anywhere

<form action="http://www.google.com/search" method="get">
<input type="text" name="q">
<input type="submit" value="Exim Google Search">
<input type="hidden" name="hl" value="en">
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1">
<input type="hidden" name="as_qdr" value="all">
<input type="hidden" name="q" value="site:exim.org">
<input type="hidden" name="q" value="inurl:exim-html-current"
</form>

There's some stuff around to make it branded to your website around
somewhere but this will get you the search nice and easy.

google "custom google search" for more details.
