Many websites are using Google products to earn revenues. These products include Google search. By embedding Google search in the website, the owner gets a share of the revenue for clicks done on the search results (I have not followed the exact working). So whenever a surfer searches something in the search box of a website (powered by Google), and then clicks on any of the results, the owner of the website earns some money.

This is a more promising source of income as there are probably more chances of people searching for something rather than clicking advertisements through Google Adsense. But, now comes the issue. Google is offering toolbar for all the browsers and with some there are search boxes embedded in the browsers. In Google chrome, you can just search in the address bar. With the options for searching available outside the website you are visiting and these search boxes are prominent, there is every chance that the visitor will end up searching through either toolbar or the search box with the browser.

Not sure whether these browser owners are getting some share from the searches made through these embedded search boxes, but it is eating up possible revenue for a website owner.

For explanation, I have taken an example of a website that has a Google powered search box and at the same time the browser also has Google powered embedded search box. I cannot judge which of these is better positioned, but definitely the one embedded in the browser has better chances of being used by the visitor for searching anything. This really minimizes the revenue potential for the website owners.
