<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCreate Google Custom Search Engine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Navigate to\u00a0https:\/\/cse.google.com\/cse\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n It will navigate to show already created Search Engine list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But if this is the first one to create<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click on "Create a Custom Search Engine"\u00a0 if not, to create a new Search Engine Click on "Add" or click on "New Search Engine" from the left side menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enter the sites name to search, Can add multiple domain names. can Add domains that even if you are not owned that we.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Individual pages<\/strong>: To search only on some Individual pages – can that page URL e.g. www.example.com\/about.html<\/p>\n\n\n\n Entire Site<\/strong>:\u00a0 To Add Entire Site\u00a0 e.g. www.example.com or www.example.com\/* but this is not including all sub domains, search on all pages with in www.example.com. To search on Sub pages add like sub.example.com or sub.example.com\/*<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Entire Domain<\/strong>: to search on entire domain – all webpages that include sub folder, sub domains *.example.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n parts of site \/ sub folders<\/strong>:\u00a0 www.example.com\/blog\/ or www.example.com\/blog\/*<\/p>\n\n\n\n URL Patterns – Google Custom Search<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Add the desired language, Language for search engine Messages to display messages<\/p>\n\n\n\n ( this is not the language of what your search result is, or what your website content is. )<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is useful to set the language to display search box. like the search box placeholder – text, sort by – text, powered by google custom search – text\u00a0 and similar messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Give a name to your Custom Search Engine,<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are using Custom Search Engine public URL ( will check about that in this page ) This name shown at the top of that page just like an heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click on Create <\/strong>to create a Custom Search Engine<\/p>\n\n\n\n on Success you will get the page which provide links to "Get Code", "Public URL", "Control Panel"<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Any Time to get this information<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click on "Edit Search Engine" – from the left menu. And then click on "Setup" – This is Control Panel – for Search Engine<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get the Code – from "Setup"\u00a0 click on "Get Code"<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get, enable, disable the public URL click on "Public URL".<\/p>\n\n\n\n Copy the code and paste it where you like to display the search box, search result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n e.g\u00a0 if you like to add search box in Sidebar, If you are using WordPress and have your Theme provide to add content on Sidebar using Widgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then form wp-admin – Dashboard -> Appearance -> Widgets<\/p>\n\n\n\n Select "Custom HTML" Widget and place that widget where you want – sidebar, footer, header ..<\/p>\n\n\n\n and add the code in that widget and save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can arrange things like\u00a0 – Display only Search result or Search box or Seach box at one place and Search result at one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To do this – Click on "Look and feel" from the left navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n or you change the last line of the code by your self<\/p>\n\n\n\n <gcse:search><\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0–\u00a0 To display Search box, Search Result<\/p>\n\n\n\n <gcse:searchbox><\/strong>, <gcse:searchresults><\/strong> – Two Colums – To Display Search box, Search result on two columns with in same page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <gcse:searchbox-only><\/strong>\u00a0 –\u00a0 To Display only Search Box<\/p>\n\n\n\n <gcse:searchresults-only><\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0–\u00a0 To Display only Search Result<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of manually editing this code, Google will generate this code by changing the settings at "Look and feel"<\/p>\n\n\n\n Customize the color of the link, text, buttons, by navigate to Customize tab, or can change the look and feel using themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add Variations for search terms<\/p>\n\n\n\n e.g. in your website you may use term like\u00a0"New York City" but user may search for different term like "NYC"<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now if search query is "NYC" Search Engine will show results that are related to\u00a0"New York City"<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make Google Custom Search or Google Search Engine know your Website, Web pages.\u00a0Add your Site at\u00a0Google Search console<\/a>\u00a0and add sitemap.\u00a0 If you are using Google Analytics – You may be already Added Search Query String in filter "S", CSE default Query String is "q". Make sure you added "q" also. or change the Default Query String. ( in all case you don't need, use this in cases where your URL changes and adds "?q" string\u00a0 before the search query )<\/p>\n\n\n\n At "Statistics and Logs"\u00a0 -> Google Analytics. Select a profile to view Analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don't Enable\u00a0 –\u00a0Results Browsing History – just back to previous search result. ( by default disabled )<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of adding Google Search Engine Script on all pages,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just add the custom search box on all pages i.e. create your own search form which is less wait – just an input field, submit button inside form, and When user submit that form make sure to navigate to a page where you added Google Custom Search Engine script. ( have to extend the URL with query string, query text )<\/p>\n\n\n\n or<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead of creating a new search form, you can use WordPress \/ theme default Search form<\/strong>, but one issue here\u00a0 – WordPress search Query String is "s" where default CSE query String is "q". either one have to change to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n or<\/p>\n\n\n\n In menu add one more item like "search" and make that link to navigate to page where Google Custom Search Engine Script is added. or add a search bar in menu<\/p>\n\n\n\n GSE vs CSE<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google Site Search ( GSE ), is discontinued<\/p>\n\n\n\n GSE is more Enterprise Edition of Google custom Search, can remove Google Branding, can remove Ads. Its not free. ( any how now its discontinued )<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternative to Google Custom Search Engine ( CSE )<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Make WordPress Search Form as Google Custom Search Engine – Search box<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/holithemes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/google_custom_search_-_Add_New_Site.png\")
