This module complements the googleSearch component. It allows you to add a Google search form 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. Let me emphasize again that you need to have the googleSearch component installed for this to work. Available for both Joomla 1.0.x and native 1.5.x! New googleSearch (CSE) moduleIf you know what Google's new Custom Search Engine (CSE) is about, you may want to use the newly released googleSearch (CSE) module. Latest Version v1.0.15 (for Joomla 1.0) and v1.5.15 (for Joomla 1.5) Some of you encountered a blank page for search result for v1.5.14. This version fixed the bug. Thanks to Daniel for helping me find the bug and test the solution of the bug fix. "JFolder::folder: Path is not a folder: /language".

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! Customizing the ModuleNote that the config options for googleSearch module resides in the googleSearch component. The rationale is that
If you wish to display the last search value in teh search form, just set this to "Yes". Default value is "No". Module Class SuffixNote 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 Note that this parameter is set in the Module Manager, not in the Component Manager.

Thanks so very much for this..
But I think the search results is not exactly the same (as in current) compared to results from a normal google search.
For instance, I searched for my site www.ccngh.net in the google search of my site, but couldn't find it in the results.
However, the regular google search displays my site in the first page of results. Also happened when i searched my site in your site.
Pls see to that for me....

Hi Abraham,
That's because you've selected country in the option. Try compare the url of the google search result and that in the search page of your website. Did you see that additional country code in your url?
Try uncheck any country that you've selected. The result should be the same. If it's different, that's because you've selected some additional option.

Thanks so much for the information.
I changed the country to any region, and it displays more results than it used to....
But i still can't find my website when i search my url in the google search on my website.
However, I easily find my website when I search in the regular google search.
I used to see even news items from my website in google search, when I type such keywords in google... but i don't see them when I use the google search on my website, and can't even find my website in a search result for it.
Url is www.ccngh.net. Campus Christian Network.
Thank you.
