Anyone intalled it on a https site?

I don't want the 'you enter in a insecure page' warning just for the search button

Google is almost completely on https. You can remove http before all links in your code, this will call https links (or, if you prefer, specify https links directly)

I'll try to remove http, changing to https was not working (the search yields a blank page) Tnaks for your reply

Do first what other friends say to you. If you do not have luck, read here
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=324908

I had problem after changing to https, before all was ok.
What ever I asked here I could not manage to find why it does not work for me.

So with the above thread you will see how I manage at least to make it work.
Hope it will help a bit to put you in the right path.

NO! I just installed this code then I have updated to https and it is not working!

Updating to http to https does not solve the problems. I do not want to run it as Stratis' solve fixes it. I want only the original search box in the upper right. It would be nice if this mod would be updated for https as virtually all forums will now need the update.
