Google-Search
 

Hi
with this hack you can get your own google-search from your vbulletin. This hack needs some PEAR-Classes and you need a google-account.

Requirements:
- you need the following PEAR-Classes:
- SOAP (available at http://cvs.php.net)
- Net/Dime (available at http://cvs.php.net)
- SOAP_Google (available at http://www.sebastian-bergmann.de/?page=google)
- Google-Account (free at http://www.google.com/apis/)

installation notes
Make sure that you have the required pear-classes installed. Infos about PEAR are available at http://pear.php.net
If you receive require/include-errors edit websearch.php and add the path to pear.
Edit websearch.php and enter your google-key
Upload websearch.php to your forums-directory
add the 3 templates
create a link to websearch.php where you want

Have fun :)

edit: If you don?t want getting the pearclasses from cvs, take a look here

get a blank page after submitting the search? read this

want to integrade the google-search into your regular search enginge? look here

kewl hack, nice work

hey very nice..

I think it's sort of neat also, never knew you could imbed google results on your site.

Cool. :)

Would be nice if there were a little better detailed information on which pear files you need. Plus where do you put them. Instructions said nothing to the sort of where they go. Overall this looks to be a good hack. Would even be better if the instructions were more CLEAR.

Shame pears are not independable.

I agree. I've downloaded the files, but what do I do with them? I
ve got SOAP_Google.php, Net_DIME-0.2.tgz, and SOAP-0.6.2.tgz. But now what?

Is this something that someone with a shared hosting account can use, or do I have to have root access to the server?

Indeed...I would like to know this:)
