v1.0 (for Joomla 1.0) and v1.5 (for Joomla 1.5)
Released January 6, 2009

Note: It is important that you match the version number of your googleSearch_cse module with that of the googleSearch_cse component.

sh404SEF users

If you are using the googleSearch_cse component together with sh404SEF:

1. Go to sh404SEF Configuration.
2. Click the "By Component" tab.
3. Look for the component "googleSearch (CSE)", and set the first column as "skip".
4. Don't forget to click "Save".

Please also make sure you read the following article:

Running googleSearch with sh404SEF: fixing the error 'JFolder::folder: Path is not a folder: /language'

For those of you who get this error message, please refer to the article below for the solution:

Running googleSearch with sh404SEF: fixing the error 'JFolder::folder: Path is not a folder: /language'

1. First, make sure you have installed the component googleSearch_cse component. This module DOES NOT work without the googleSearch_cse component.
2. Download and install the googleSearch_cse module.
3. Make sure the module is published / enabled.
4. Select a module position where you want to place the module.

That's all you need to get started! You'll now have a Google Search form displayed in your selected module position, and the Google Search result displayed right inside your Joomla main body!

Note that the config options for googleSearch_cse module resides in the googleSearch_cse component. The rationale is that

• The module and the component work in pairs.
• Many of the options affect both the module and the component.
• It's more convenient to be able to do the config settings all in one place.

1. Width of Search Field: Specify the width of the search field in the module.
2. Display search form in component:: Since you now have both the module and the component, by default, there will be a search form in the module, and another in the component. If you find this a bit distracting, you have the option to hide the search form in the component. Just set the option to "No" to hide the search form in the component.
3. Display Last Search Value:

If you wish to display the last search value in teh search form, just set this to "Yes". Default value is "No".

Module Class Suffix

Note that I do have one parameter added in the googleSearch module: the Module Class Suffix.

This is provided by some templates to give variations to the style of the module.

For example, in Joomla 1.5, if you're using the default "rhuk_milkyway" template, you can try setting this as _menu. You will find the module changed to a different style.

Note that this parameter is set in the Module Manager, not in the Component Manager.

   Hi,
   
   Please be more specific:
   
   1) Are any ads appearing?
   
   2) If no, please take note that ads DO NOT always appear. Depending on the keywords entered, sometimes you will not see any ads appearing.
   
   3) If there are ads appearing, then you will only see money appearing in your adsense account when people click on it. If there are no poeple clicking on any of your ads, then you will see nothing appearing in your adsense account. Please also take note that it can take a few hours to a day for any clicks to appear in your adsense account. It's not realtime.
   
   Regards,
   /kksou
