    <title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</title>
    {vb:raw headinclude}
  </head>
  <body>
    
    {vb:raw header}
    
    {vb:raw navbar}
    
    <div id="pagetitle">
      <h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>
    </div>
    
    <h2 class="blockhead">Google Custom Search</h2>
    <div class="blockbody">
      <div class="blockrow">

<div id="cse-search-results"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">

  var googleSearchFormName = "cse-search-box";
  var googleSearchFrameWidth = 800;
  var googleSearchDomain = "www.google.com";
  var googleSearchPath = "/cse";

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/afsonline/show_afs_search.js"></script>
      </div>
    </div>
    
    {vb:raw footer}
  </body>
</html>

3. Then Open Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates Click Collapse button click navbar Template find <div id="globalsearch" class="globalsearch"> and <ul class="navbar_advanced_search"> remove all code between this with

Code:

<form action="http://www.mobilephonetalk.com/google.php" id="cse-search-box">
    <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-8038994048300561:7c8fy7cujxg" />
    <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:9" />
    <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" />
            <span class="textboxcontainer"><span><input type="text" value="" name="q" class="textbox" /></span></span>
            <span class="buttoncontainer"><span><input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search.png" name="sa" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" />  </span></span>
        </form>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&amp;lang=en"></script>

You're welcome.
We are thinking about of getting an adsense account, and if not the other solution is right.
