Strange, it seems fine at my end?.

Look at results on pages past the first using chrome on your website. For some reason, there are gaps in the search results.

However, yours is fine for me, so maybe just a website issue instead of a incompatibility with chrome.

Thanks

followed your instructions and uploaded google.php to web root. when a test search is performed, the screen just goes blank. is running vB 4.1.3.

what else needs to be done so it can work?

not working on 4.1.3. Try searching on DNN and see that the search results come up blank. google.php is officially uploaded to root , and all other instructions are followed. what can be done now to make this work?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
