Search Bar

Search Bars are becoming more and more important - especially now that web sites are getting larger and larger.

In Google Sites you have the default (as long as you have the Header turned on) Search Bar "Search this site"

but it ONLY searches this site. Many of us have several web sites - and it's hard to remember what STUFF is on what SITE !!

That's when you need a more robust search - a SEARCH BOX - one that you can tell specifically what web sites you want to search (except for the Ads - they will appear on the FREE Google Search.

Create a Search Bar on your Google Site (or HTML site) http://www.google.com/cse/?hl=en

There are two types of Search Bars:

Free - the Search Results Page will contain adds

Custom - $100 per year

Fill out the form http://www.google.com/cse/manage/create

<!-- Put the following javascript before the closing </head> tag. -->

<script>

(function() {

var cx = '004549330733296767962:tpk7dmi0emy';

var gcse = document.createElement('script'); gcse.

type = 'text/javascript';

gcse.async = true;

gcse.src = (document.location.protocol == 'https:' ? 'https:' : 'http:') +

'//www.google.com/cse/cse.js?cx=' + cx;

var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s);

})();

</script>

<!-- Place this tag where you want both of the search box and the search results to render -->

<gcse:search></gcse:search>
