You can easily pop up your search results into a new window. Just add the target="_blank" code to the form tag in your cut and paste search box that starts from your pages, as seen here:
<form method="POST" target="_blank" action="http://www.picosearch.com/cgi-bin/ts.pl">
This is the HTML instruction to put the search results in a new window, on top of your own website. It'll be a bit smaller, and it'll be a fully functional browser which can then be searched within further. You can also send the target of the search results pages themselves to a new blank or other window everytime, see the Configure Results section in your Account Manager. And for related frames information, see How to target PicoSearch in Frames.
Special Note: At the time of this writing, late 2001, Netscape 6.0 is so buggy that if you expect to support it and you are adding the _blank target to a form statement, it appears that you should use method="GET" to make sure the arguments go through correctly. Some versions of AOL may also have a problem with target _blank in the form, so be forewarned.
If you want to totally control the pop up in terms of location and size and appearance, that will be a javascript project that we don't particularly recommend because it will have to call PicoSearch through javascript, and take into account browser incompatibilities. The basic _blank target trick should look great for most situations.
