The typical culprit appears to be placing the Google search form code inside of the vBulletin search form code.

Hakaslak - in your page source, I see that you have a <form> tag to open the vBulletin search, then the <form> tag to open the Google search, then a </form> tag to end the Google search, followed by a </form> tag to close the vBulletin search.

These should NOT overlap, and I suspect that anyone experiencing this error is doing the same thing. Move the </form> tag for vBulletin up to before the Google search form, or move the Google search form down outside the </form> tag for the vBulletin form. When you're clicking the "Google Search" button, it is actually sending data to the vBulletin search, rather than my php file.

Hope this helps, but I do not intend to support the search box itself.

First thing I thought was - How did he find my site. Oh yeah. My sig. Did I put a link in there? I guess I did. Then I was like... wha...? Then I thought it was working when I installed. Now I'm sad.


Thank you very much for noticing!

OH. I get it. I thought that the form that opens up the vb search was the ajax box that comes out. Didn't really think about it much. LMAO

Is it possible to make a seperate search page and use the addon code there ?

Thanks.

I didn't check your sig ... I just know these things! :ninja: j/k

Glad I could help!

A separate page to put the search box in, or to put the results page in?

This is a separate page for the search results -- though if you don't want it integrated you can just follow Google's instructions.

As for the search box ... you can put that anywhere you want! Best is to make a template and call it using misc.php if you want it on its own page. (i.e., this function: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=124749 )

I just think it looks nice. I think this is a fairly recent offering by Google, so maybe more will be possible eventually. And of course, people are free to extend this in other ways.

Well actually now that I look at your demo, the real value is interating a the Google Search box into the VB Search dialog. The fact that the results come back inside of VB is just a nice touch!

In fact this will help me design my new skin! I'll install when I move to 3.6

Thanks!

Make sure, that you do not paste the google code within an form!

In other words, post it after a </form> tag!

Very nice, thank you.
Two questions.
Is it possible to have the search terms highlighted? That is an important feature.

Next, I updated my site by building it from new, and importing my 3.5 to my 3.6. Google has all of my links to the old link ID. How can I get this cleared out of Google? Wait?
