Have you followed these steps: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....5&postcount=36

Ensure you replace with your own URL and Google code....

Replace the partner-pub code with the code you get from setting up your custom search.
Top mod. Installed on 4.07 using this simple single edit.

I guess using this mod will cut down on database use from some of those unwanted spiders but will it have an effect on SEO with the main search engines?

Not compatible with vBulletin ™ Patch Level 2 Version 4.1.0, you write the method with this version?
I have just 16 digits's pub from google.

Hi,

Yes I did, that's why I said it's working fine but for some weird reasons it's not displaying the search results i-e for any keyword it just display "no results found etc)

EDIT: OK, it's working fine now, I changed the domain settings in the adsense and removed the "www." part.

It's compatible with all versions of vBulletin 4.x. I have 4.1.0 PL2 installed and it is working fine. Fundamentally, there's really a form that's being changed inside the navbar template and, no matter how much the navbar changes with each release, the form code that controls the functioning of Google search really remains the same.

I don't see how it could affect SEO. It certainly does cut down on database use not only from spiders but from users. It also produces much more relevant search results.

Yes, if people click on the sponsored links. It's really not a whole lot of money unless your site specializes in areas that have valuable keywords. Mine does not and I make a small amount of money from sponsored links but it's not the reason I installed the mod.

I dont have the mod installed, but I was thinking of just allowing Google results within the Search...and no results from my site. (to increase sponsored links possibilities)

Is it possible like that ? (i'm guessing the options just need to be set correctly in the Google Adsense area)

You're not going to increase sponsored links possibilities that way. You can set up custom search to search google.com but that would defeat the purpose of having a site search. You can focus sponsored links when you set up custom search by adding certain keywords in the Site Search setup at Adsense for Search.

I tried to solve problems in vb4.1.1 following by step:

- Find in the navbar template for this code:

Code:
<form action="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=process" method="post" id="navbar_search" class="navbar_search">
  <vb:comment><input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionurl}" /></vb:comment>
  <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
  <input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" />
  <span class="textboxcontainer"><span><input type="text" value="" name="query" class="textbox" tabindex="99"/></span></span>
  <span class="buttoncontainer"><span><input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search.<vb:if condition="(is_browser('ie') AND !is_browser('ie', 7) AND !is_browser('ie', 8))">gif<vb:else />png</vb:if>" name="submit" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" tabindex="100"/></span></span>
  </form>
Replace with:

Code:
<form action="http://www.yoursite.com/google.php" id="cse-search-box">
    <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxx" />
    <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:9" />
    <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="utf-8" />
            <span class="textboxcontainer"><span><input type="text" value="" name="q" class="textbox" /></span></span>
            <span class="buttoncontainer"><span><input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search.<vb:if condition="(is_browser('ie') AND !is_browser('ie', 7) AND !is_browser('ie', 8))">gif<vb:else />png</vb:if>" name="submit" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" tabindex="100"/></span></span>
                </form>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&amp;lang=th"></script>
* http://www.yoursite.com/google.php=Replace with your site
* xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxx=your Google AdSense Publisher ID

Works just fine. All this does is replace a form in the Navbar. The only thing that will change in major versions hereafter is the template for a page but that will be a while.

Gn_Snake 02-02-2011 10:59 AM
If I put a word in the search field gives me a blank page.
Why?

Thx

scottct1 02-03-2011 01:16 PM
Works great... now only if I could figure how to add some skyscraper ads on the left hand side it would be PERFECT!

Gn_Snake 02-07-2011 10:55 AM
Nothing? Any idea for blank page in Google Search?

You implemented it incorrectly. I've provided step-by-step instructions in post #36.

fxwoody 02-08-2011 09:16 AM
Tks guys , i will give it a try!

Tho if i got all this right, after doing all the mods, it should take around 10 min for crawler to get on and board should be fully visible ! Right?

This mod doesn't cause Google to crawl your site but relies on the fact that it probably already has.

fxwoody 02-08-2011 11:48 PM
tks for the info! after playing around this for 2hr +++ i found out the my template was "google" instead of "GOOGLE" lolll big difference to get it to work! lolll

Tks guys! Will see how it turns out for the $$$ now with this lolll ;)

Just one last thing, didn't search for it yet but, when i make a search, i automatically log off?? Any suggestions :)

Tks

David Karol 02-11-2011 06:44 AM
Great mod!

Is it possible to change the height of the google search box, to be more like the original vB box? See soundforums.net

I just checked and it will work without the partner-pub if you remove this line from your navbar template:
PHP Code:
    <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxx-xxxx" /> 
You obviously won't get any revenue from Adsense for Search but it will help reduce server load.

prandah 03-22-2011 09:41 AM
okey thanks semper
it's work :D

mark installed :D

ymcus 03-23-2011 07:16 AM

It's one of the templates grouped under Navigation Breadcrumb or something like that.

Is there any uptodate code to implement this on the latest vbulletin? I cant seem to get the original code in the op to work.

There's nothing to update for the most recent vBulletin version. It works fine.

DNN 04-19-2011 03:12 AM
can't one just install the general adsense for search code directly as is from their adsense account?

deverill2010 04-22-2011 08:23 PM
I can't get this to work on my site.

I am trying to make the template changes but the code I have in my templates is slightly different to what is listed here.

When I save I get this error -

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:
Invalid Tag Nesting
This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

And the search box dispaears?

deverill2010 05-02-2011 04:53 PM
Anyone?

That is really helpful thank you!

I now have it working :)

The only thing is how do I remove the advert box?

I only see 3 options in my adsense which are -

Top and right
Top and bottom
Right

Theres no option to completely remove it. I only want the search results to show?

thanks
