The search control is global to all web applications. Hence cannot be
selectively
enabled for one web application. What you are talking of is a web-part that can
be
added/removed on per web-application, site basis selectively

We have a separate configuration file for each Web Application. How about
having a
configuration parameter which lets users choose between GSA powered search and
built-in search.
Depending on the choice we can conditionally redirect the user to appropriate
search
results page.

Workaround for current deployments
==================================
Applicable for MOSS 2007 (Non - Admin Web Application and its sites)
If GSBS is already installed:
======================
* Go to 12 hive\Bin folder [i.e. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN ]
* Run following commands to deactivate GSBS:
stsadm.exe -o deactivatefeature -name GSAFeature -force
stsadm.exe -o uninstallfeature -name GSAFeature -force
* Edit File 12 hive\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\GSAFeature\Feature.xml [i.e. C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\GSAFeature\Feature.xml ]
* Change "Scope="Farm" to Scope="WebApplication"
* Save the file
* Run following command to install GSBS on a give web application only
stsadm.exe -o installfeature -name GSAFeature -force
stsadm.exe -o activatefeature -name GSAFeature -url
http://webappsiteURL.mycompany.com:[port]/ -force

Thanks Amit, The following Steps works like charm.
- Install the GSBS in the Farm
- Go to Control Templates Folder Copy the SearchArea.ascx and Go to Layouts
folder
and Copy SearchResults.aspx and Rename them GSASearchArea.ascx and
SearchResults.aspx
- Deactivate the Feature
- Go to Features Folder and Look for Google Search Feature and Modify the
Elements.XML with a new GUID and Proper Usercontrol File ( GSASearch.ascx)
- Modify the User Control File to point to GSASearchResults.aspx instead of
Searchresults.aspx
- Change the Scope in the Feature to Site Collection (Web)
- Redeploy the feature, now you will get an activate/deactivate option in each
sitecollection and that helps to have both Sharepoint Search & Google Search at
the
same place.

For SharePoint 2010, replace 12 hive (i.e. C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12) with 14 hive (i.e. C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14)

For Sharepoint 2010, the steps to be followed are :-
1) Uninstall the GSA Resource Kit for Sharepoint(only if it is already
installed).
2) Install the GSA Resource Kit for Sharepoint.With this, the GSA Search Box is
enabled on a farm wide basis or scope.
3) Deactivate the feature GSAFeature.
Command:
stsadm.exe -o deactivatefeature -name GSAFeature -force
(With this, the feature is deactivated on farm scope)
4) Now change the scope for the GSA Feature from "Farm" to "WebApplication" in
Features.xml file of GSAFeature folder.
5) Activate the feature for a specific web application.
Command:
stsadm.exe -o activatefeature -name GSAFeature -url (url of your web
application) -force
(With this, the feature is activated for a specific web application only, and
not for any other web application)
6) In this case, it is not necessary to uninstall the feature. Just by
activating or deactivating the GSBS feature for a particular web application,
we can deploy the search box for a particular web application.

This feature needs to be supported by the install for both initial installation
and later configuration.
