What does this have to do with google adsense? I mean? It's just a google search performed on your site, isn't it?

You could look at it that way, however, you have both options - search your site OR search the web with your adsense information. Adsense does not have to be a box with ads in it. This is called Adsense for Search.

Here's an overview: https://www.google.com/adsense/ws-overview

Aah, now I get it ;).
I thought of the box with ads yes :D.

And where do I find the GELT?

the GALT, from what I understand is how the results display on your page. Much like properties of <td> and <div> tags, it appears to define the properties. It is displayed initially when you sign up for the adsense code. For example, here is mine

PHP Code:


		
			
GALT:#9A2C06;GL:1;DIV:#33FFFF;VLC:D03500;AH:center;BGC:99CCFF;LBGC:CCE5F9;ALC:440066;LC:440066;T:336699;GFNT:223472;GIMP:223472;FORID:1;

broken down, it looks like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
GALT:#9A2C06;

GL:1;DIV:#33FFFF;

VLC:D03500;

AH:center;

BGC:99CCFF;

LBGC:CCE5F9;

ALC:440066;

LC:440066;

T:336699;

GFNT:223472;

GIMP:223472;

FORID:1;

I just went to https://www.google.com/adsense/search-settings, played around with the colors, etc., and it produced new code for me including new information for that line

PHP Code:


		
			
GALT:#008000;GL:1;DIV:#336699;VLC:663399;AH:center;BGC:FFFFFF;LBGC:336699;ALC:0000FF;LC:0000FF;T:000000;GFNT:0000FF;GIMP:0000FF;LH:50;LW:250;L:http://www.christianboards.org/images/logo.gif;S:http://www.christianboards.org;FORID:1

Aah... So I really do need an adsense account?

Yes, to make money off the searches (you need the pub-#). Of course, you could always use mine :P

What if making money off of the searches isn't necessarially a concern?

If I just wanted a google search feature for the forum. Is that possible with this mod or do I need to look elsewhere?

Exactly..

This works either way :) If you just wanted to search the site rather than search the web, you could remove the ability to search the web. (the radio button).

Edit:

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
<form action="http://www.google.com/custom" type="hidden" method=GET name="search"><td class="thead">Search Site / Google</td>

Replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
<form action="http://www.google.com/custom" type="hidden" method=GET name="search"><td class="thead">Search Site</td>

Then

Find and Remove:

PHP Code:


		
			
<input name="sitesearch" type="radio" value=""><a href="http://www.google.com/search"><img src="http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_25wht.gif" border="0" alt="Google" align="middle"></A>

This should work, although I've not tested it.

So then this would just allow a google style search on the site it's self. No need to have an ad sense account?

If so, this would probably end up working much better. We're finding that the search feature that's built in doesn't work very well.
