Add Google Custom Search form to your Advance Search

[Mr Lucky]

Mr Lucky submitted a new resource:

Google Custom Search form to your Advance Search - How to add a Google custom search

This will add a Google custom search form to your xenforo Advanced Search and will do a Google search of your site/s.

You will of course first need to sign up and have registered your site/s with Google CSE

Once you have configured that you will be able to get the code you can add to the form

1. At the end of the template search_form add the following. Text in capitals is to be replaced.

@Mr Lucky What am I missing here?

 

[Mr Lucky]

That looks like something on the Google side of things.

Add this code to your extra.less:

.cse .gsc-control-cse, .gsc-control-cse {
    padding: 0 !important;
    padding-top: 10px !important;
}
html > body .gsc-inline-block {
    display: inline-table !important;
}

@BassMan Thanks for the suggestion. I'm left with the same issue. Here's what I've found.

 

[TerryP]

All that said.

This corrected the problem.

.gsc-control-cse .gsc-table-result {
    font-family : inherit;
}

.gsc-control-cse .gsc-input-box {
    height : inherit;
}

input.gsc-input,
.gsc-input-box,
.gsc-input-box-hover,
.gsc-input-box-focus,
.gsc-search-button, input.gsc-search-button-v2 {
    box-sizing  : content-box;
    line-height : normal;
    margin-top  : 0px;
}

Glad you got that sorted, was it maybe a conflict with a style you are using as the Google code should normally work without that?

 

[TerryP]

I'm not using any third party styles. I've got a few of @AndyB running but there's no reason for them to conflict at all. Very simple design

I'm glad you found a solution. Yes, it depends what style for GCS you set in options. I needed to add the code I've sent you before.

 

[BassMan]

No, that has nothing to do with any forum style.

I did not put that together. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the resource. Could you provide instructions to use Google Search for all your searches, not just Advanced Search?
