The search results will be shown in a popup.

Earn money with this using Google AdSense
If you want to integrate your Google AdSense account into these search result, you need to have a custom search engine (CSE) created for your site. From the CSE Control Panel you'll find a link in the left side menu that allows you to connect your AdSense- and CSE account together.

[Martin]

Have you created your own Custom Search Engine, and entered the API key from that into the settings?

[Snookputt]

Yes I have Martin, I have also entered the Google AJAX API Key and the Google Custom Search Engine ID and chosen the default search engines

Sorry, but the use of AdSense is fully controlled by Google.

I am not that mean. i means we have seen the search function in all over the forum after installing this modification. so could its possible we have choice in in this modification we can allow adsense search by default to selected forums. and all other forums we select google or bulletin forum searching.

for example:

we have 3 forum.

visitor came in forum no.2 and he need some unique thing so he definitely used our search function. and we set it forum no.2 from ACP (that anyone search in this forum and through this forum so by default adsense CSE Box he saw)

and if visitor come in forum no.3 and he need some other unique thing so he definitely used search function here too. and we set it this forum no.3 from ACP (that anyone search in this forum and through this forum so by default he saw Google search) means he entered any word so he get results from Google.

i hope i describe better now.

[Martin]

So you want to restrict use of this hook to only some forums?

Edit ./hooks/imGoogleSearch_<randomString>.php and ./hooks/imGoogleSearchJs_<randomString>.php
Find:

ipsRegistry::$settings['im_googleSearch-cseKey']	= trim( ipsRegistry::$settings['im_googleSearch-cseKey'] );

If you want to allow the use of this in other parts of the board, and only in forum #3 and #4
Add below:

if ( ipsRegistry::$request['f'] AND ! in_array( ipsRegistry::$request['f'], array( 3,4 ) ) )
		{
			return false;
		}

If you want to allow use of this in only forum #3 and #4, and no where else
Add below:

if ( ! ipsRegistry::$request['f'] OR ! in_array( ipsRegistry::$request['f'], array( 3,4 ) ) )
		{
			return false;
		}

If you don't want to allow the use of this in other parts of the board but in forum #3 and #4
Add below:

if ( ipsRegistry::$request['f'] AND in_array( ipsRegistry::$request['f'], array( 3,4 ) ) )
		{
			return false;
		}

Very nice hook...

I have a little problem...

This hook is working fine on my default IPB skin. but when a search some on my custome skin, it gives an error.

[#10145.1] The application '' does not support search 

[Martin]

Enable the skin and this hook for guests, and send me the URL to your board, and I'll take a look at it

[peps]

Hello great mod, this is what I was looking for.

But I have the same error above:

[#10145.1] The application '' does not support search 

May be because I have a custon skin ("Elegant" from skinbox.net)?
