/me installs. Thanks!

You can customize it even further through Google's Adsense/WebSearch program. See here:

I had created my own version before I saw this. I followed the example of the url code where I just made 2 versions. one allowing title and the other as value

I'm wondering if the code from RixiuS will allow both of these so I wouldn't need the redundancy in my bbcodes.

Also, Cold Steel, what exactly is that link supposed to show in regards to google customization? I couldn't find anything that seemed relevant.

Here's the code I was trying to explain in case I didn't make any sense.

<b><font color="blue">G</font><font color="red">o</font><font color="yellow">o</font><font color="blue">g</font><font color="green">l</font><font color="red">e</font>:</b> <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q={option}" target="_blank">{param}</a>
and

<b><font color="blue">G</font><font color="red">o</font><font color="yellow">o</font><font color="blue">g</font><font color="green">l</font><font color="red">e</font>:</b> <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q={param}" target="_blank">{param}</a>

I'm new to all this so there's probably some flaws, but I was trying to give the user 2 options so they could give the search string a title or just show the google search string as is, like how the url code uses both options.
