v1.0.10 (for Joomla 1.0) and v1.5.10 (for Joomla 1.5)
Released June 30, 2008

Bug Fix. If you set the option "Display search form in component" to No, sometimes the search form will not display in the googleSearch module too. The bug has been fixed. Thanks to Scott for reporting the bug.

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

Download

1. First, make sure you have installed the component googleSearch component. This module DOES NOT work without the googleSearch component.
2. Download and install the googleSearch 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 module resides in the googleSearch 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.
