How do you code a custom Google Search?

How do you code a custom Google Search?

I realize my main question is a small vague. Let me clarify. I maintain a small website that I’ve owned for a long time. I’ve developed a strong bond with many of my visitors, and I wanted to give them something back. They often do Google searches from my website for things like videos and I was wanting to make their searching a small simpler for them.

To place it for a small time, I want to be able to place in a custom google search that when a person types in, say “Handlebars by Flobots” (a music video) the search automatically adds some extra text that limits the search for them as it executes (cuts out spam). Let me also add that I only have a small quantity of programming knowledge. Is there a way to do this by HTML only? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Example:
1- User types in “handlebars flobot” in standard looking google search box
2 – The search executes, but adds on some extra “unseen” text to the search to automatically limit the results down to exactly what the user desires. In this example, we’ll say an Mp3 file
3 – Here is what the final search text is:
intitle:*index.of* (mp3) handlebars flobots
4 – The results come out just as the user wanted them to.
And yes, it is possible. It has been done in many different websites. For example:
http://www.jimmyr.com/mp3_search.php

Conundrum is my website hosting company doesn’t support .php. There still has got to be some other solution I’m not thinking of.

If it was possible, google would do it.
