I would like to insert the google site search in the place of the ubbthreads "Search". How would I go about removing the ubbthreads "Search" and inserting the google site search code?

Thanks,

Wayne

Good question... Was looking to do the same thing, -IF- it will search the entire website and not just the forums...

I want the Google Search to search the content on the main web pages and the forums as well... Is this doable?

Setting up a google search is really easy. And it will search your entire site, or any other sites that you want it to.

To start with go to google's custom search page http://www.google.com/cse/

Then just set up how you want the search to work. Some of the options include loading the results in a new page, or using ajax to update the current page. Figuring out what settings you prefer will be the most time consuming thing about this.

Then whenever you are done just create an island and copy the supplied code into it. Then add the island to your portal layout. You can then turn off the forum search if you want.

I have a mod over at UBBDev for using the Google Adsense search in-line here

i would advise against replacing the ubb's search though, you will be neutering your searches as it'll only show what Google has crawled, so content of say "the last year" will be filtered...
