What would be the reason to have Google in the Advance Search?
Using advance search has options like specifying the forum member who posted, forum section the thread is in,... Adding the Google function to allow the 3 letter word or abbreviations will make good ususe dir any combination of these features.
I like Google option but would miss these other options if only searching from the search box. These other options may work from the search box but not without extra syntax or maybe not all including the radio buttons.
