Integration with vBulletin - Replace search with Google Custom Search

This mod assumes you have an adsense account and are using Google Custom Search.

You want to make sure your results page is named something other than the vb default search.php, this leaves the vb option open to those who click "advanced search"

Open your template navbar


find

PHP Code:

<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post" id="navbar_search"> 

replace with the form line of the google supplied code
example:

PHP Code:

<form action="http://www.ahfb2000.com/google.php" id="cse-search-box"> 

find

PHP Code:

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionurl}" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" /> 

replace with the first 3 hidden input types in your google code
example:

PHP Code:

    <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />
    <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:10" />
    <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" /> 

find

PHP Code:

<input type="text" value="" name="query" class="textbox" /> 

replace with

PHP Code:

<input type="text" value="" name="q" class="textbox" /> 

find

PHP Code:

<input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search.png" name="submit" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" /> 

replace with

PHP Code:

<input type="image" class="searchbutton" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/search.png" name="sa" onclick="document.getElementById('navbar_search').submit;" /> 

find

PHP Code:

</form> 

add this after

PHP Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&amp;lang=en"></script>

Read the instructions again. Some of the "replace" codes are examples and not to be taken literal.
