Forgive me, but if people want to search the web, they'd go to a search engine directly as opopsed to going round all the houses.Is their anyway i can have a search bar with a dropdown menu that can search Google (web, images, etc., etc.) ask jeves (web, images, etc., etc.) and the wayback machine.
Anyway as to the drop down menu, it may be possible but the different engines have different names and different URLs and ways of doing things. So it'll probably be too complicated.

The reason I wanted it was mostly for personal use.
A sort of self-made Internet "start page".
