Meta Search engine integration (google search is not working)

[gnomcat]

Searching with google do not work. I used the following changes.

Change the code of web_search.html to:

<%include file="header.html"
title="Suchergebnis: $keyword"
meta_keywords=""
meta_description=""
%>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

<!-- main content here -->

<br />
<b>Suchergebnis</b>
<p>Ihre Suche nach "<font color="#008040"><b><i><%$keyword%></i></b></font>" erzielte <b><%$num_links%></b> Treffer.</p>

<!-- links -->

<%if $link%>
<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" border="0" width="100%" style="background-color: #ffffff;">
<tr>
<td><!-- link header -->
<table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" class="tbl_border">
<tr>
<td height="24" colspan="2" class="tbl_caption"> Web Links</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<%$link%>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<%else%>
<p>no result? Use IIsengart search engine...</p>

<iframe src="http://www.gnomecat.net" style="border:0px #FFFFFF none;" name="myiframe" scrolling="auto" frameborder="1" align=aus marginheight="0px" marginwidth="0px" height="500" width="800"></iframe>
<%/if%>

<!-- pagination -->
<%if $pagination%>
<center>
<p class="pagination1"><%$pagination%></p>
</center>
<%/if%>

<br />
<br />

<!-- end of main content -->

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>

<%include file="footer.html"%>

As has been said before, the "search the web" feature doesn't work because you need to enter a Google SOAP search API key. Unfortunately Google no longer gives those out.

I suggest you use indexu search for your directory search and the google adwords search for the web (you will make money when users click those links). With this you don't need google API.

I just bought it thinking I had a meta search solution !

[Bruceper]

It doesn't have a meta search, and never has. Nor has it ever been advertised to have a meta search component.

The "search the web" function is a very small part of indexu and is easily replaceable by the google custom search which you can actually make money on.

Take a look at www.moparmuscle.net

All you need to do is replace the search code with the google search code

Nicely done, Bruce! Without too much detail, is it paying off?

[Bruceper]

It is, not as well as I'd like but it generates money daily. I'm just using this site as a test and then I'll probably add it to other sites.

Hi Bruceper

Please can you explain how this is done, thanks.

[Bruceper]

There's nothing to really explain, simply replace the search code in the header.html
