[Request] - Search box for site and google

[mrbean17]

Looking for a snippet that will allow me to search the forums and google (radio button or something) ... but open a new page (same window) when searching google.

Thanks

Google Adsense has this feature. You need to open an Affiliates account with Google AdSense.

You can select to embed a search box and choose to have the results displayed within your website.

I can install one on my site later for you to tryout. I leave work soon.

I could never get Google Adsense to work out of a subdirectory ...

Is there anything else besides Adsense for this?

Thanks

Just create a new block and embed the code Adsense gives you, then disable/remove your original search box once the Google one is setup. That's all I did when I tried it.

I got rid of it because if you have boards requiring special permissions it does not work very well, you can give adsense a special account to be able to index your private boards but I think it will then display it to anyone even if they can't normally access those boards.

Nice Searchbox

The code does seem to take a bit of space. I put it in a lower block using TP 1.0.5, not the best spot, but less intrusive that way.

it doesnt look good, i cant fit the box with portal..

somebody please help heres the code

<table width="160" height="80" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td><form id="cse-search-box" action="http://www.google.com/cse" target="_blank">
      <div align="center">
        <p>
          <input size="19" name="q" type="text" />
         

          <input type="submit" name="sa" value=" Search " />

Add it in a scriptblock and it should work, make sure you also activate the block after you have saved the code in it.
