This component allows you to add Google Adsense Search to your Joomla site.
The search results are displayed right inside your Joomla page!
No more popup page. No more diversion to other pages.
Available for both Joomla 1.0.x and native 1.5.x!
New googleSearch (CSE) component
If you know what Google's new Custom Search Engine (CSE) is about, you may want to use the newly released googleSearch (CSE) component.
Add more power with googleSearch module
You might also want to complement this component with the googleSearch module:
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,4935/Itemid,35/
The module allows you to add an additional Google search box as a module. This means that you can place the search form in any module position you like. When the user clicks the search button, the search result will be displayed in your Joomla main body by the googleSearch component.

Customizing the Component
Log on as Administrator, from the Component Menu, select "googleSearch - configure", you will see the following config page.
Only the first two are required. The rest are optional settings that allow you to finetune the component to suit your needs.
- Google Adsense ID: This is your 16-digit google adsense ID. Do not enter any alphabets that precede the number.
- Width of Search Result:: This is the width (in pixels) of the search result returned by Google. Match this with the width of your Joomla page.
- Size of Search Field:: This is the size of the search field. Default size is 48.
- Search Button Label:: Label for the search button. Default size is the English word "Search".
- Channel: If you want to track this with a channel that you've set up in your Adsense account, enter the 10-digit channel number here.
- Search Domain:: Specify the search domain. If you leave this blank, it will use the domain of your Joomla site by default.
- Search Domain Label:: Specify the radio button label that will be displayed in the search form for the search domain. If you leave this blank, it will use the domain of your Joomla site by default.
- Search Domain as Default: There are two radio buttons in the search form: The first one to search the entire web. The second one to search your domain. If you want the radio button for your domain to be selected, choose "Yes" from the pulldown menu. If you want the radio button for the entire web to be selected, choose "No" from the pulldown menu.
- Site Language: Select your site language here.
- Site Encoding: Select your site encoding here. If you're not sure, just choose the first one: West European Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1).
- Country:: Select your country. This will determine which Google domain will be used for the search results.
- Enable Google SafeSearch:: Select yes if you want to enable Google SafeSearch to filter adult-site contents. Default is no.
- Display Last Search Value:: Display the last search value entered by the user. Default is yes.
- Title color: Set the color of the title for the Google search result.
- Background color: Set the color of the background for the Google search result.
- Text color: Set the color of the text for the Google search result.
- URL color: Set the color of the url for the Google search result.
The next 5 config options allow you to set the position of the various HTML elements around the search box. Note that the positions are all relative to the search box.
- Google Logo Position: The position of the Google logo relative to the search box.
- Select Web/Domain Position: The position of the radio buttons (for selecting search web or domain) relative to the search box.
- Search Button Position: The position of the Search Button relative to the search box. If you do not want any Search Button, select 'none'.
- Google Logo Image: Select the type of Google logo you want. If you have a dark background, you might want to use the third one.
- Search Button Image: If you want to use an image as Submit button instead of the standard Submit button, enter the full URL of the location of your image. If you want to revert back to the default Submit Button, just empty this field.
The next 6 config options allow you to customize the watermark text that appears when the use has not enter anything yet in the search box.
- Watermark Type: Google provides a pretty cool watermark (it's image based, so you cannot change the text). If you want to set your own string, select "text".
- Text Color on blur: The watermark text color.
- Text Color on focus: The color of the search string when the user starts typing in the search box.
- Background Color on blur: The watermark background color.
- Background Color on focus: The background color of the search string when the user starts typing in the search box.
- Watermark Text: Your desired watermark text. Make sure you have selected "text" for "Watermark Type".
The following config options are for customizing the googleSearch module. It's exactly identical to its component counterpart, so please refer to the explanations above.
Styling the Component and Module using CSS
You can now set the style of every item within the googleSearch component/module to the exact format you want through CSS. For example, you can set the font family, font size, foreground and background color of the search field, radio label, search button, etc.
I've designed such that the css style for the component is independent of that of the module. So you can have different styles for the component and the module.
For example, if you're using the default Joomla 1.5 template, define the following style in <joomla root folder>/templates/rhuk_milkyway/css/template.css. If you're using the default Joomla 1.0 template, define the following style in <joomla root folder>/templates/rhuk_solarflare_ii/css/template_css.css.

Replacing the Default Search module of Joomla 1.5
Suppose you want to replace the default search module of Joomla 1.5 using the default rhuk_milkyway template, here are the steps:
- Log on as administrator and go to Module Manager.
- In the input box "Filter:", enter "search".
- You should now see two items: Search (the default mod_search), and Google Search.
- Make sure Enabled is set to No for mod_search, and Yes for Google Search.
- Assuming that you're using the default Joomla 1.5 template, define the following style in
<joomla root folder>/templates/rhuk_milkyway/css/template.css
div.mod_googleSearch table {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: 6px;
}
div.mod_googleSearch input {
width: 145px;
margin: 15px 0 9px 0;
}
You should now see the googleSearch module instead of the default mod_search in module position user4.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1: googleSearch does not work, and I'm using sh404SEF on my website.
A1: For googleSearch to work on websites using sh404SEF, please refer to the solution here.
Q2: googleSearch works fine when search the web. But it returns nothing when searching my domain.
A2: Your site has to be indexed by google in order for googlSearch to return something when searching your site. This means that if your site is new, and none of the pages has been indexed by google yet, the search result will be empty. The indexing is controlled by google. So you just have to be a little bit patient for googlebots to pop by and index your site.
To check how many of your web pages have been indexed by google, just type the following in the search field of www.google.com (assuming your domain is called yourmain.com)
site:yourmain.com
The search result returned by googleSearch will be exactly the same as returned by www.google.com.

after set all the configuration needs by this component i still cant display my google adsense for search in my joomla page... please help...
May 18, 2008 7:52pm
Hi Pahlevy,
Would you want to give a bit more details so that I can try to help?
1) Which version are you using? ver 1.5, 1.51 or 1.52? (or just give me the name of the zip file that you have downloaded).
2) Did you manage to see the config page?
3) If (2) is ok, did you see the search form?
4) If (3) is ok, when you click the search button, what did you see?
Regards,
/kksou
May 18, 2008 8:29pm
hi Kksou
what a quick response.. and sorry, my bad that i didnt give u complete status of my problems...
1) im using joomla 1.0.13 (i install this version com_googleSearch_v1.03.zip)
2) yes
3) nope, i didnt see any search form in my configuration page or in my joomla page (except the default joomla search on the top right position)
4) still stuck on number 3... :)
thanks for your help
Regards,
Pahlevy
May 18, 2008 9:05pm
Hi Pahlevy,
Since you stopped at (3), I believe what happened is that you forgot to create a menu item for the component.
Do this test for me first: Try
http://www.joomladomain.com/index.php?option=com_googlesearch
Did you now see a search form? (Don't forget to change www.joomladomain.com to your domain)
If you see the search form now, it means the googleSearch component is running ok. You can now proceed to add a link to this component in the main menu.
If you're not too sure how to do this, I found a useful link here:

omg, how stupid i am... :( sorry for that...
thanks a lot mate, you save me a lot of searching time... lol
anyway, i have some question regarding to joomla and your component, can i put this on module somewhere instead of menu..? ive been thinking to put that search on the default joomla search position... another newbie question... :)
or if not at least can you show me hot to remove the boxes when i choose to unpublish some module...?
thanks a again for your kind help... :)
regards,
pahlevy
May 19, 2008 6:13pm
Hi Pahlevy,
To have the google search box in a module and have the result displayed in the googleSearch component, use the googleSearch module which I've just released: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,4935/Itemid,35/
Once you have installed the googleSearch module, you can unpublish the original search module, and publish googleSearch module in that module position.

/kksou

hello again kksou,
you really made my life with google search easier...
thanks a lot

first of all, thanks to this great component. if only i can get it to work :(
i installed the latest version (as of may 21st) of the component and module. when i search using the module, it takes me to the component page with no result. when i search from the component, it gives me an error (see below message).
===
404: Not Found
Sorry, but the content you requested could not be found
===
pls. help!
May 21, 2008 10:05pm
Hi Brian,
Need a bit more details to know what's going on:
1) After you installed the component, did you manage to see the config page?
2) Are you able to see the search form in the component?
3) Are you able to see the search form in the module?
Based on the error message, I have a feel that you did not install the googlesearch right. Hence it says it could not find the component.
Let me know if your Step 2 above is ok.
Regards,
/kksou
p.s. I went to your website. I did not see any google search form there...
May 22, 2008 12:22pm
hi kksou,
1. yes, i was able to see the config page. i even customize the text color.
2. yes
3. yes
i uninstalled the reinstalled the component but it didn't help. i still get the same error.
May 22, 2008 3:31pm
Hi Brian,
1) Would you mind try this on a fresh install of joomla and see if you're getting the same error?
2) Since you have a pretty established website, is it possible that you set up a subdomain as test site and install the component/module? I need to be to see the actual error message and view the source (from the browser) in order to know what's being passed in the search form.
3) The other possible reason might be that you're using opensef or sh404SEF. If you are, check the redirection database. I believe you have installed earlier versions of the component, which do not contain the Itemid (in which case opensef/sh404SEF will try to guess some Itemid) The later versions of googleSearch component properly adds the Itemid info. This will mean that there will be multiple entries of the same component in your redirection database. You get the "content you requested could not be found" error because opensef/sh404SEF selects the older url instead of the newer one. You need to delete all the older redirection entries. If you're confused, let me know whether you're using opensef or sh404SEF first, and we're see what we can do.
Regards,
/kksou
May 22, 2008 3:57pm
hi kksou,
yes, i'm using sh404sef. so what do i need to do? i'm not an advance joomla user and not a programmer so i don't really know how to tweak these things.
thanks for the help!
May 22, 2008 6:08pm
Hi Brian,
1. Log on as administrator.
2. First go to Menu - mainmenu. Look for your googleSearch component and take note of the CID (the number on the last column). This is the Itemid of the menu.
3. Now go to Component - sh404SEF. Click on View/Edit SEF Urls.
4. Suppose you have named the com_googleSearch component "Google Search", in the field "Filter" (top right corner), enter "google".
5. You should now see a list of SEO-friendly urls (i.e. the translated ones) containing the name google.
6. In the column "real url", you should see more than one entries of urls with index.php?option=com_googlesearch, but some with different Itemid's. This is the cause of the problem.
7. Look for the one with the correct Itemid (the number you've looked up in step 2 above), and delete away all the other entries. There should only be one left with the correct Itemid.
8. If possible, do a restart of your server.
Try the above and let me know if it works.
Regards,
/kksou
May 23, 2008 9:10am
2. went to main menu and saw the new entry i entered that should be link to google_search. it usually says Component - component name. mine shows up as Component-. is this a problem too? it takes me to the component anyway when i click on it.
4. i named it Search. i filtered it but didn't see any com_googlesearch on the links.
6. in the column "real url", they're all blank.
7. didn't find any cid number that matches.
8. my site is hosted by godaddy so i won't be able to restart it.
what should i do next?
May 25, 2008 10:56pm
Hi Brian,
For Step 3, make sure you clicked "View/Edit SEF Urls" and not "View/Edit Custom Redirects".
For your reply to Step 6, what's on the left (the column "SEF Url")?
If you have named the component Search, I suppose it should be Search.html or Search/
Now delete all the blank entries you see there (for the column Real URL). These are what's causing the problem, because it points to nowhere.
Go back to your home page. Click reload so that a new entry will be generated for your googleSearch component.
Repeat Step 3 again till you see an entry with Real URL containing index.php?option=com_googlesearch
If it is still not there, then manually add an entry there with the correct Itemid.
If it still doesn't work, please give me a bit more details along the way so that I can try to guess what's going wrong.
Regards,
/kksou

The search componenet returns no results, just a blank page with the search box at the top. Using Joomla 1.0.15 & the latest version of this component. I also tried fiddling with sh404sef setting and the component doesn't even show up. When I search I get a link in the browser like this...
May 29, 2008 7:46am
Murphy's Law - as soon as you post looking for a solution - you end up fixing it yourself.
I had configure the setting in sh404sef to skip this component & now it works perfectly.
July 11, 2008 3:09pm
I have tried nearly every Google-based search extension available for Joomla. NONE of them worked - some not at all, some needed tweaking that I'm not skilled enough to do. FINALLY, I found one that works - THANK YOU for the good work.
I had the same issue as TB above - initially it didn't work, but when I told sh404sef to skip this component, it works just fine.
August 29, 2008 7:02am
Hello kksou,
Thank you for creating the googleSearch component and module. I've installed these two.
However when I tried search, the search always returns nothing matches the search. I've set it up so that it searches within my own domain only.
Could you give me some pointers as to where things might have gone wrong, such as with Google Adsense or the configuration of the component.
Searching the entire web works properly.
Yours respectfully
September 07, 2008 8:07am
Hi,
I installed the component and works great, thank you.
I also had the problem of "no content" but I discovered it was because I have the website in offline mode, so Google only grabs the frontpage things. To all who have that problem, I recommend to search the word "Joomla" and see if there are results now. (The main page)
I am having problems with sh404SEF. I followed all the steps told above, but when I search, I get a red message telling ¨JFolder::folder: Path is not a folder: /language¨
I know that is sh404SEF as the problem dissapears when I uninstall it. I get the search results perfect, both in the web and on the site, but seeing that red note there is ugly.
What can I do in that case?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I need to find out how to replace the default core search in the template with this one. It has been shown for Joomla! 1.5, but I still have sites that will continue to run 1.0.15 for a long time. If someone has found a way to replace the default search module in the template and make it look correct for Joomla! 1.0.x please let me and others know. I am using templates from Joomlashack.som.
Thanks in advance.
January 07, 2009 3:05pm
I had found a different version of the google search and was using it till i found yours. The other one was causing issues with the javascript and prevented some of my site from not functioning.
For the most part i have been able to customize everything as i wanted it but it might have been a bit easier if it was all in one nice self contained css file. Several of the items i tried to change, i had to change manually via editing the googlesearch.lib.php file directly.
But its looking good now, trying to get all of my sites updated to 1.5 is a huge undertaking as i have around 50 websites. the current one is being done here.

Hi Pahlevy,
Please take a look at
Styling the Component and Module using CSS.
You can right align your table using #9.
As for the background color of the radio buttons, try #7
div.googleSearch .radiogrp {
background: #000;
}
and see if it works.
Otherwise, play around with other css elements. You should be able to finetune it to your requirements.

Although I've gotten this to work well on my page that is under construction, I'm not happy the with the way the search results are displayed in my page. I use three columns and the results are cut off on both sides in the center column. Is there a way I can get this to display over all three columns or open in another page?

I had hugh problem to force GoogleSearch to work but as it is with sh404 there is same problem when you have JoomSEF installed. Just to exception in JOOMSEF configuration and GS is just workig fine. BTW Great component! Because of polish signs I had to skip standard joomla search on my site (too many errors). Now I have a search engine! Thanks

hello,
i managed to get google search running.
but i'm having trouble with the position of the search.
i would like it to be placed between my header and content (or preferably completely at the top of my page, above any content)
but in joomla in order to have the search to appear i have to link it to a menu. so when i create a new menu it appears between other menus (i can choose topmenu, mainmenu etc) but how can i tell joomla that the search that i dont want it to be in a menu, but on top of my page? (like the position for example myspace uses)
thank you!!
