I just need to know the html to add a Google search panel to my site as Google just tell you to add the html, without say what it should be!

What sort of search are you intending here? Google has a program for what they call Personal Web Search or something like that. You need a developer key, which is free, but which is bound to a single domain name (per key). And then you need a lump of JavaScript that will interact with their server and do clever things like only search a single site. We used it on this (FreewayTalk) site for a few weeks while Sphinx was being configured. It works pretty well, although you rely on Google to make regular re-indexes of your site, and that’s not always an immediate thing.

If you just want to add a Google search box to your site, essentially duplicating what you would see on the home page of the Google, then the code is pretty simple:

<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search" name="f">
	<p><input name="hl" type="hidden" value="en"><input maxlength="2048" name="q" size="55" title="Google Search" value="">
	<br>
	<input name="btnG" type="submit" value="Google Search"><input name="btnI" type="submit" value="I'm Feeling Lucky"></p>
</form>

Paste all that in a Markup Item drawn on the page and you should see a Google Search when you preview or view the site in a browser. Make sure there are no other forms on the same page, or you page will be invalid (can’t have a form inside a form).
