   When I insert the google engine id the plugin automatically creates a page where the search result will be displayed. But what I need is to change the link of the page where the search result will be displayed. How can I do that?

   I am using the WP Google Search Plugin. I was so frustrated because I couldn’t get the search icon show. Your tip on customizing the search box through the dashboard in Google Custom Search solved the problem.

   Thanks wpbeginner your articles have always helped me a lot. I wanted to do it manually because that way wherever I have search form it’ll be replace by custom google search and your article did work for me as always

   When i tried it first it didn’t work because I registered website as http(s) or didn’t enclose the code within a div so it really gave e a hard time. Anyway i am all thanks for your help!!

   Thanks again

   I figured it out. My Search Result page wasn’t published yet.

   It works exactly how I want it to, searching 2 different web sites, as long as I am logged into WP Admin. Once I’m no longer logged in to the WP Admin I get

   Not Found
   Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.

   What step did I miss?

     I don’t have much idea about web designing and further customizing. I am learning wordpress blogging from last 5 months, and I think it may be due to a problem while publishing your search result page. There is a visibility option in edit page mode. If that page is private or password protected, this problem you said may arise. If it is done so, make it public..

    Plugin method works well for me. But I am trying to replace theme’s native menu bar search functionality with CSE. Its wordpress native search only. So manual editing searchform.php method should work for me.
    But after editing searchform.php my search widget vanishes from sidebar. I am using Colormag theme by themegrill.
    Looking out for a help.

    I am also keen to see mentioned in above comment but this site is offline now. I tried to fetch it from wayback machine but couldn’t found in its past impressions.

      The same thing happens to me when I paste that code into searchform.php. Not sure this is proper as searchform.php by default is an HTML form. The code copied from Custom Google Search is a JavaScript tag…. should this even work??

    Hi Wpbeginner,

    This worked like charm! The manual method is just as awesome as you wrote. Google custom search now showing on my site!

    Thank you so much.

    Can you only implement custom search when the site is live and indexed by Google? If it’s hidden or password protected, can it be added then?

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      It can be added but will not be able to show any results.

    I am trying to add Google Search with the Plugin to my website. I got as far as the step where I am supposed to paste the search engine ID into the WP Google Search’s settings page. My settings page does not seem to have any place where I can do this. Can you tell me where the ID should be pasted and what it is called?

    Thanks.

    the manual way of doing this is poorly described and a total waste of time. If you gonna do something do it right ir dont do it at all.

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      If you are having difficulty using the manual method, then please try the first method. It is easier to add Google Search with the help of a plugin. If you need to do it manually, then please let us know which part isn’t clear and we will try to explain it here.

    Can somebody tell me why this is a more beneficial search than using the standard WordPress search form? Are there SEO implications? I’m just not sure why anyone would use this over the standard search.

    Responder

    • Adam Connell

      I generally find that whenever I search a website for a topic, and it’s using WordPress default search – I’ll get VERY poor results.

      They’ll lack relevance.

      By using Google’s custom search, you won’t get any SEO benefits but your readers will find it easier to get what they’re looking for.

    Hello, and thank you for creating this post and video. I really found it to be helpful in terms of providing better search results for my site WarCraft Press.

    I would however say that you should have pointed out at the beginning of the lesson there are 2 ways to accomplish this task. I did it once with out the plugin then later realized there was a plugin for it.

    That said thanks again for a great lesson and I certainly look forward to future lessons!

    Howdy,
    I have seen you recommend editing wp files and wp theme template files like you have in this article for the searchform.php file.

    My concern is when there is a theme update or wordpress update wouldnt the changes to the searchform.php suggested here be lost after for example a theme update?

    Happy trails, Mike

    Hi, I went through these steps exactly for my Wordpress site, but the search box doesn’t appear anywhere. There are no .js errors in the console. I put a border around the containing div and the border appears, but there’s nothing inside it. I pasted the code I generated from Google inside searchform.php. As a test I also tried pasting the google code on a test page, but still no luck.

    Any ideas on troubleshooting?

      Chris, try regenerating code by creating a new custom search engine.

45. Joy Baker

    Forgive my newbie status, but when pasting the code into the search.php of my theme’s search page, do I replace the code in the page with Google’s code? I am an idiot when it comes to php code. I know what it looks like, what the opening/closing tags look like, but I have no idea what you mean when you say paste the code in the page.

    Where? Replace it all or between the opening/closing tags or… ???

    Current code looks like this:

    
    

    So, do I replace the entire code in the page with the custom Google Search I’ve created?
    Google code:

    
    

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      yes replace the entire code with just the code for your Google CSE.

    Thanks for a very well written article. It is easy to read and follow,even for a complete newbie.

    The only thing I don’t get, is how to do this;

    “If your theme does not have a searchform.php file, then you need to create one using a text editor like Notepad and upload it to your theme directory using FTP client”

    Remembering I am a newby. I did instal my WP site to my shared hosting by following clear instructions, using FTP. So I guess I am saying how does one create the searchform.php file?

    Thanks again.

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      Open your FTP client and connect to your shared hosting site. Navigate to /wp-content/themes/ directory. Click on the theme you are using. For example if you are using twentytwelve theme you will see a directory twentytwelve there, open it. Once you have opened your theme directory in your FTP client, right click and select ‘Create new file’. A new dialog box will appear enter searchform.php as the file name. That’s all you have created searchform.php file.

      You can also create this file on your computer by opening a plain text editor like notepad and save file as searchform.php, after creating the file you can upload it to your theme directory using an FTP client.

      You can edit this file from inside your WordPress Admin area. Go to Appearance » Editor and click on searchform.php file from the list of files on the right.

        I tried to do just that but something else happened. The search box disappeared and was replaced by an ad. The widgets below the search widget area in my primary sidebar also disappeared. I’ll figure this out soon. It’s a pretty nifty feature.

    This is a very simple and easy to digest. But, if anyone want to use his/her theme’s default search bar and display the search results then how will he integrate google cse with his theme’s search, I found a great and simple method, it just requires editing your search.php file of your theme, just replace the php statement that is responsible for showing the search results.

    Thats great and all… but my search field is on the menu bar.

      Look in the code if it is using the function <?php get_search_form(); ?> then this method should work for you.
