Get the GoogleCustomSearch results in separate page

Hai ,

GoogleCustomSearch control i transfered to layout.master,Now in my site GoogleCustomSearch control works,but it gives the results in that same page,so existing contents of that page goes bottom, so design is changing.

I like to get the GoogleCustomSearch results in separate page,how can i do it.

In that GoogleCustomSearch Control I cannot find the results div.

Thanks,

Nalini.

Hi Nalini,

mojoPortal comes with support for Google Custom Search so all you need to do is input your Google Custom Search ID in the API Keys section of the Site Settings. To get there go to Administration > Site Settings > API Keys. If you want the google search to be used by default, select it from the Default Site Search Engine box.

Your ID should look something like this: 017268123402775890745:jfnmabcaxzs

Hi Nalini,

Happy to hear that you did the same,

You can use the Google Custom Search Control that's available on mojoPortal by default, shown below,

<portal:GoogleCustomSearchControl ID="MyGoogle" CustomSearchId="MyCS" DivId="MySearchDiv" Enabled="true" />

but this will show the results on the same page where this control renders.

Or Else if you wanna have the search results displayed on a different page, then make a note of the google search custom page url, where you use this control and use a simple TextBox with a Button associated with it so that it routes your request to that page with the search request.

You don't need to use the <portal:GoogleCustomSearchControl in your layout.master. You can use the <portal:SearchInput control and set your default site search engine to google. See the "Styling the Search Input Box" documentation for more information on that control.
