This is an excellent question. I have the same problem. The page below is super long with no content. Also, I wish the Google search ads were just down the side. Not or the top and down the side.

You must use advanced search features and get the code. But with google search v1 code you cannot create a template, for v2 you cannot config for the search links to open in the same windows.

Installed and working fine!

stevectaylor · #89 03-17-2013, 05:43 PM

Installed and working great.

One question is the fixed width, can this be changed to liquid?

Lpspider · #90 06-01-2013, 06:13 AM

Installed but ever search is showing 404 Google image error on-site...

Edit: didn't see the solution a few posts above, will try that.

Edit: Still getting the error, followed by blank space.

Quote:

400. That’s an error.

Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request. That’s all we know.

fxdigi-cash · #91 06-03-2013, 02:45 PM

i believe it is better to go to google custom search service and make your own customized search tool and then grab the html code and place it anywhere you like on your vb...

as easy as that

Cheers
