Google (the best search engine, period): free
normal (default) search option, but you
MUST use the
search option and the
TARGET='_top'
tag:
| <FORM METHOD='get'
ACTION='http://www.google.com/search'
TARGET='_top'> |
|
because
Google disabled the
custom (
advanced) option:
:-( <FORM METHOD='get'
ACTION='http://www.google.com/custom'> |
|
How
to do this: Right-click on
this link (my Site Search page using Google)
→ select
Save Link As... (Firefox,
Mozilla, SeaMonkey, Gecko) or
Save Target As... (Internet Explorer) or
Save link as... (Chrome, Safari, WebKit) or
Save Linked Content As... (Opera) and select to save
Web Page, HTML only (Firefox,
Mozilla, SeaMonkey, Gecko) or
Web Page, HTML only (*.htm;*.html) (Internet Explorer) or
Web Page, HTML Only (Chrome, Safari, WebKit) or
HTML file (Opera)
→
right-click (Windows OS users: in Windows Explorer or similar
file management tool) on your saved
search.htm file
→ select to open
it with your favorite Notepad or
better free(ware) plain text/ASCII editor → find the
ACTION='http://www.google.com/search'
text string
→ use the search script between the 1st pair of start
<FORM etc...> and end
</FORM> tags as template (copy & paste) for your site search page
→
customize it to match your web site design. The
CLASS='GSS'
selector inside
<INPUT etc...> tags point to the
.GSS{your
customized CSS code here...} CSS style sheet found within the
<HEAD> section under the
<STYLE TYPE='text/css'
MEDIA='all'>
tag, and can be also customized. The
ID='gglsrc'
selector points to the separate
gglsrc.js JavaScript file (which requires the presence of
gglbox.gif), and is referred to under the
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript'
TYPE='text/javascript' SRC='gglsrc.js?form=gglsrc'>
tag, which must be located right after the closing
</FORM>
tag.
And last but not least... don't forget to change the domain name (all instances) to match yours, otherwise you're gonna search my web site from your
server.
