Google Custom Search on my .Mac webpage

Hi
I put a HTML snippet from Google's Custom Search in my iWeb page but do not get any results.
I read about registering the .Mac pages in the Google search index in other posts. Is this also needed for the Custom Search?
Thanks,
Tim

Well....sort of. If you start Safari and have a designated home page there are a few problems. For example, I needed to do a fast search this morning and here's how it worked:
1. Open laptop, awakening it from slumber.
2. Open Safari.
3. Safari attempts to load home page.
4. I attempt to delete home page URL so I can type in my search.
5. HP (home page) URL re-pops into box eradicating the search I'd begun to type in.
6. I attempt a delete/re-enter again and same thing happens again.
The third attempt was the charm, but it's extremely frustrating when you need to get a search started *NOW* and can't because, by golly! We aren't allowing that nasty, useful, non-obtrusive search bar to mess up a pristine desk top. Yikes. You'd think the whole "Save As" fiasco would've taught a valuable lesson or three.

How can I remove google custom search bar from about:newtab page

When I open Firefox or a new tab I have it set to about:newtab which is great and all. Just recently I noticed a Google search bar on the new tab page though, that it immediately sets my cursor to. I prefer typing in the normal address bar at top. If I don't think to take that extra tedious step to click on the address bar before typing it opens to Google Custom Search Engine. Which does not have the images, maps, etc tabs along top. Making a simple task of researching something or other purpose just that much more annoying to do, because I'll have to type into the address bar anyways.
So I was hoping there is a way to remove this annoying Google Custom Search Bar from my about:newtab?
Or at the least make my cursor start in the address bar, not the Google Custom Search Bar.
This is a screen-cap of the Search Bar. http://gyazo.com/d75ccdea9b9d0bb4a3d347664be73771

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

Google Custom Search not rendering, any ideas?

Can anyone tell me why embedded HTML code for Custom Search supplied by Google wouldn't be rendering in the Muse in-app "Preview" or when previewing in the browser? There's no trace of it. Have tried pasting code directly and as a HTML object. Help anyone?
I would have assumed it was a compatibility issue, but it should work without a problem according to the following blog post:
http://www.muse-themes.com/blogs/news/7722357-embedding-a-search-bar-in-adobe-muse-google- custom-search

I started from this page: http://monarchhousing.org/search-our-site/
On the results page, which has no results visible, Firefox records this script error in the browser console:
TypeError: google.search.Search.apiary3244 is not a function
file: https://www.googleapis''.''com/customsearch/v1element
line: 2
After reloading the page, the function name changes:
TypeError: google.search.Search.apiary9727 is not a function
file: https://www.googleapis''.''com/customsearch/v1element
line: 2
I gather this is a randomly named function (makes it harder to search...). I can't figure out how this script file is called. Google has made it very complicated to debug. I suggest trying Google's support forum here:

How do I get rid of Google Custom Search as my default search?

Every time I start FF it has Google Custom Search in the location bar search box. I have delete it multiple times, but the next time I start FF, it is back in the box. I want Bing as my primary search engine. How do I get rid of the Google Custom Search???
Also, how do I get rid of that CouponNetwork Coupon Activator? I have looked for it to delete the file, but can't find it. How do I get rid of it??
Thanks

That page didn't & has not worked. I have gone through & deleted all the search engines except Bing, probably 15-20 times. When I restart FF Google Custom Search is back in the list & is displayed in the seach box, even though Bing is listed first or the only one in the management section & supposed to be the default.
On the Coupon Activator, that is what I thought also, but it is not listed on the Add/Remove program. I have even done a search on my drive for that filename, but it can't be found.
Any other ideas for both problems???
Thanks

How to make Google custom search results appear on a new page?

Anybody got any idea how to make the search results appear on a separate page? I'm using the Google custom search to get generated code to place on my pages, after providing some 'guidance' information on the look and feel of it. Normally, Google will provide you with a few options to choose from to determine how your results will look and by default one would choose the "two page" option whilst going thru the setup process. One page for the search box on your own page and one for the results page.
However, if you don't want a 'google-generated' results page but want the layout that's in line with the look of your site AND have the search box already on there for any repeat searches it becomes more tricky. I tried doing it one way, which I found one a blog tutorial but so far no sucess. The 'search box' code that I inserted onto one of my pages to test didn't show up the search box at all in preview or the live page...
Anybody got any generic code that can be adapted (that they know works) or know of any tutorial that explains how to achieve this? Preferably Google related, as I'm using its custom search.
In addition, I believe that recently Google have deprecated the use of iframe in its search results pages so for anybody that was using an earlier version of this facility it may no longer work properly and hence the solution might have to be modified. Not an expert, so not sure how much this fact will affect the final code, just a thought.
Any ideas/solutions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hello adrianm12, this should be possible through the metro settings ("search"). also see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=941292 bug 941292]...

Google Custom Search opens blank page

I have a Wordpress site. I installed Google Custom Search on my website.
In all browsers except Firefox it opens a blank page.
How can i fix this?

The first error would indicate a problem with one of the Google scripts.
*http://monarchhousing.org/gcs-results/?q=homeless%20myths
It looks that this callback isn't working with Firefox (the apiary862 part can vary):
*https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1element?key=AIzaSyCVAXiUzRYsML1Pv6RwSG1gunmMikTzQqY&rsz=filtered_cse&num=10&hl=en&prettyPrint=false&source=gcsc&gss=.com&sig=9e22f16779b322c4438bf7968124f7f9&cx=004659255641490361228:mv_18qspja4&q=homeless%20myths&sort=&googlehost=www.google.com&callback=google.search.Search.apiary862
I don't know that much about JavaScript to know how to troubleshoot this and this happens in all Firefox versions that I tried, so it could be a compatibility issue in Firefox with this Google script.

Get rid of Google Custom Search

Address and search bar do 'google custom search'. This is pretty much useless. I CANNOT get rid of it. I want NORMAL GOOGLE. About:config settings do NOT change this.

Starting with Firefox 23 the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar that way.
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

My Curve 8900 and Google Custom Search

Hi,
I try to access a mobile site m.yamaha-motor.co.id using my BB Curve 8900, everythings seems OK, but I found out that one element inside this website can't load, then I try to access the same site using Opera Mini and it's working nicely.
This element using Google Custom Search, is there some thing wrong with my device / browser?
Any advise would be appreciated. Thx.

This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and
then resets your search preferences and home page to their

search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.

Google Custom Search on Iweb page

Thanks in advance for your advice!
Has anyone had any luck having google custom search work on a iweb homepage? If I have it search non-iweb sites it works fine. But when I try to use it to search my iweb page it fails. Is there something about iweb pages that makes them unsearchable?
Thanks,
Will

How do I add a google custom search to my search bar

Hello, I am currently trying to figure out a way to get this: https://www.google.co.uk/cse/publicurl?cx=011443679866246468437:ejnincolk1e custom google search engine to work with my quick search bar and have no idea how to go about adding it to the list of available search engines.
Is it possible to do this? If so could someone please help me get it set up?
Thank you!

Hi guys!
Thank you so much for you're replies.
@Epicaleb:
I already tried to use the 'add to search bar method' however, When I then try to search for anything via the newly added search bar, I just get directed to the search bar page as if a search has not actually been performed and I have to type the search into the actual webpage again instead of using the quick bar.
@cor-el
"This makes the search page available as a bookmark with a keyword that accepts search terms as an extra parameter and that you can invoke via the location bar"
I'm not really sure what you mean by the above part!?
As for the add on you linked me too, It does not seem to work for the reason listed @Epicaleb. It's really annoying!
Do either of you know of another way this could be achieved?

Googles custom search engine

I purchased Google's Business Search Engine and have spent all day trying to get it to search over my 2 sites. It will search the one site fine but I cant find out why it wont include the 2nd one. Google's support is not much help. Thought someone over here might be able to shed some light. Both sites are created in iweb 08 and hosted on 2 diff .mac accounts.
Thanks !!

Google Custom Search problem driving me crazy

I love using FireFox, but recently it has started acting up when I right click on some text in a web page and then "search Google". Before this problem started, the search page would be a standard Google search page with the different headings across the top images, videos, news, shopping, etc. Now I get a Google search page where the Google logo at the top is made with FireFoxes (search google images for "firefox google" and you will see what I mean). Also, I no longer have the different items at the top so the search page is basically useless.
I have started using IE again, but I would really like to get this sorted out. This does not happen with IE, I uninstalled Firefox, cleaned the registry and reinstalled - at first everything was OK but after a couple of hours it went right back to it
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== about a month ago

This is caused by a virus or malware that you have accessed. The solution is simple.
Step 1) Goto "about:config"
Step 2) Search for "keyword"
Step 3) Right click on "keyword.URL" and select reset
Your searches will now be the normal Google results

How to move Google custom search

Hi guys,
This is frustrating me like mad, if you can help you are a life saver!
I do not know how to move the search bar around my site. It is stuck behind an image atm and looks stupid.
After messing around with code for hours I have also made an unneeded space between the search bar and the content which has misaligned my page.
Please help me out here.
My website is www.factsaboutfitness.co.uk
Thanks so much!

You can snap a picture of the map by pressing home and power together quickly. Then, use a photo app, like PS Express, or similar, to crop just the part of the snap you want. Then, post the saved image to your web page, like you would any image.

Firefox is opening a tad labled Custom search. How do you turn this off?

Without my asking Firefox stated opening Google Custom Search instead of regular search. I would like to get back to regular search.

Indeed the Application builder forces "run when opened" to true for top levels VIs. If you don't want your VI to make any real work when the application starts, you should simply put a do-nothing loop in the beginning of the VI that will loop until the user presses a boolean. It will be more intuitive for users to press a Run button on the FP than clicking on the white Run arrow in the bar.

What happened to google site search plugin on Mycroft

I have searched Mycroft (and every other place I could find including opensearchplugins) but I can't find a plugin for Google site search anymore. I also have not found any announcements about it either.
What gives?
FYI: Using "site:{input url here}" on both the https and http google sites works fine. Pasting the current website's url in is an annoying extra step though. I have lost the plugin I once had.
There used to be an addon to make your own plugins (thought it was Add To Search Bar) but none I find now allow me to edit my plugins.
I don't want to use Google custom search because I don't like being logged into Google when I browse and search.
Anyone know a place to download the plugin? Or can you post the code so I can save the xml file in my searchplugins folder?
Also, I know this is not the mycroft site but I get a "forbidden" error when I try to go their forum.
Thanks in advance.

I don't recall that plugin. What did it do exactly? You probably could emulate it with a bookmarklet if it doesn't turn up anywhere. For example, this bookmarklet opens a new tab/window with a site search of the current page's hostname (it's all one line, please ignore the fact that the forum hyperlinks it):
javascript:var%20u='https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A'+window.location.hostname;%20window.open(u,'_blank');%20void%200;
This variation displays an input box to request any keywords you might want to run against the site. Simply enter to get all results, or type 0 and Enter to cancel your search.
javascript:var%20kw=""+prompt('Enter%20keywords%20or%200%20to%20cancel');if(kw!='0'){var%20u='https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3A'+window.location.hostname;if(kw.length>0)u+='+'+encodeURIComponent(kw);%20window.open(u,'_blank');}%20void%200;
I think I might get some use out of this. :-)
To save a bookmarklet to your Bookmarks Toolbar: copy the script to the clipboard, right-click the Bookmarks Toolbar and choose New Bookmark, paste the script as the location, create the name of your choice, and click Add.
