This plugin will display search results from CSE Google only if user will search in 'all' content on board. Otherwise build in search engine will be use.

Development of this plugin was supported by the eGullet Society for Culinary Arts & Letters.

 

 

 

I just checked, and my results come back with the interface in English, no matter what language setting I choose. 

Any news on the next update @DawPi?

Would it be possible to create an optional toggle to add Google as another search option, instead of replacing All Content? I am not sure if I want a full search replacement for all users, or simply the option for users to choose Google. screen_2.png in the marketplace download seems to imply this behavior.

Also, is it best to upgrade the plugin, or remove and reinstall during version updates?

Hi @DawPi!

I've been trying out the plugin today and noticed an issue with CSE customization. Many of the Google CSE Look and feel settings are hard coded into the javascript inside the plugin, so changing the theme and style settings in the CSE control panel have no effect on the live site. This also effects the ability to set a custom link target (mine is set to "_self" but it is forced to open results in a new window)

Is there a way to update the plugin javascript code so our CSE customizations are passed through? These aren't things that can be changed via CSS, they can only be set from the CSE admin panel and passed through their latest javascript.

The latest CSE javascript code is async and supports a lot of HTML5 customization. It may be possible to present the CSE results in a way that looks more like the native IPS search interface, if the results template was further developed with these new features. https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/element.

Thanks for the timely 4.2 update @DawPi!

Is it possible to display the search box at the top of the results? It looks like one is there but hidden with hard coded html css set to display: none. When I inspect the code and edit it, the search box works well and refreshes the results within the same search page. If the search box was there, it could also be styled a little more like the native search page box, wrapped in a matching HTML block that uses from the theme colors. Even better, a system template for the plugin vs a hard coded template would also help make it easier to customize beyond just CSS. Perhaps in a future update?

 

Hi Daw,

is it possible to have the results when clicked loading in the same page?

Bumped this one ... 

I believe this is something you need to configure in your Google CSE settings. 

Edit Search Engine -> Search Features -> Advanced tab -> Websearch Settings -> Set Link Target to: _self

 

Is there a way to set Google as the default search engine (default selected) in all apps (forum, pages, etc)?

I have this question too. I think it would be great for the default, but make the other options available. 

 

Nothing found here? Try internal search!

CSE mod only "printing" results given by Google engine. It does not counting or any other action against results. In opposite way (internal - try CSE) would be much easier. 🙂

 

can I still access internal search somehow?

You may but only searching in specific type of content:

 

 

Hello,

nope. It was one of my first mods for IPS4 made ... years (woah 😮 ) ago. It's simple as that.

 

Explain please. I may wrong but I remember that someone wrote something about editing it in Google cse panel itself. 

On Google CSE Control Panel the customization is very limited, not by CSS, only by some options the Google offers.

The CSS field (Custom CSS) on Main Settings of DP42 CSE Google does not reflect on pages results. The data inserted on this field is shown as text, does not customize the results page.

 

Everything is working fine...

I have not nested the CSS inside the <style> tag! I will try again! Thanks!
