I emailed google asking them as I've heard you're not supposed to touch their code that you copy paste:

"Thanks for taking the time to clarify AdSense program policies with us. I
understand that you have altered the layout of the search boxes on
http://scatteredgenius.com/cmps_index.php and http://evilzug.com/stuff/ in
order to fit the page, however as you mentioned, these modifications are
against our policies. Please change the boxes back to their original form.

While we understand the importance of maintaining the quality of your site
and your site's user experience, modification of the AdSense for search
code is a violation of the AdSense program policies. We appreciate your
cooperation and understanding in this matter."

Gotta be careful!

For what it's worth, I pulled the search boxes I put up because they didn't fit into my layouts; I've not found a way to fit them in again/yet.

got this working for 3.6?

not sure why, but when i use this in vb 3.6 (RC3) when i enter a search phrase and press enter (or click search) is runs the vb search.php and not the google search. it used to work fine in 3.5

any ideas?

i cant get it to show in 3.6

I'm having the same problem. Any fixes yet?

This was written for 3.5.x judging from the posts in here it's not working in 3.6, I will work on an update and bump this when I have something.

hows the 3.6 version coming?

I just tested it with 3.6 and it works the same. The only thing is in order to make it fit you will have to either tweak the vB code or the Google code due to the size of the input box. Keep in mind that Google's TOS states that you cannot change their code, what you do is up to you on that one. Maybe I will look at changing the default search size to match up, this would be a better alternative.

hmm when i tested it i got nothing that worked.

the search for google came up, but it would only search as if it was part of the forum.

got a fix on this yet?

*clicks install for vb3.6*

getting the wide google search but i can live with it. hopefully there will be a fix though.

/me clicks installl & waits for 3.6 version.

Thank you ericgtr

Works and looks great! :)

Install

I followed this process and it added the Google Search to my vBulletin Search.

But, when i try to search by it, it goes immediately to my vBulletin Search Forums and gives me an error message of "Please specify some words or valid user names to search on. There were no matches for those that you specified."

What could be the issue?

/me clicks install

To Fix The Width, Or Make It Look Cleaner, Search For This Code Directly Above The Google Code...
Replace It With This:
Tell Me If That Makes It Look Cleaner To You... If Not Change The To Whatever Number Fits... Mine Worked With Me Adding A After The Google Image...

Heres A Screenie....

Is That Working For Anybody?

yes.. it is a good one... i have just installed.. thank you for the hack...

:up: :cool:

BUT ... I do face the same problem with Fusion 2... refer to my attachment.

:confused:

Try Going Through The Steps Again, it Works Fine For Me....

Yeah same problem as everyone with the mod searching the site and not google.. pity..

oh well.. *bump* :P

Use the 3.6 template mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ghlight=google

It has to do with the <form action> call outside the dropdown table. The 3.6 mod resolves that issue.

I used this mod and now my forum's "GO" button on the search menu does not work. How can I fix it? Thanks.

very nice and simple.....was looking for this ..... saw some others but they are really messy !

thanks for this ;)

works fine on 3.6.8

thanks to u also....this helped me to make it better :)
