Extension talk:Google

The following discussion has been transferred from Meta-Wiki.
Any user names refer to users of that site, who are not necessarily users of MediaWiki.org (even if they share the same username).

This is for a generic Google searchbox. How can we get a site-specific search query in there? Thanks!

Recommended Change

# Sintaxe: <google>SearchTerm<google/>

$output .= '<input type="text" name="q" size="25" maxlength="255" value="'. $1 .'"/>';

This makes the extension more usable for me, still keeping downward compatibility.

For Example: I created a page "WikiMedia:ExtendedSearch" with <google>$1</google> to include it within my results page (per includes/SpecialSearch.php). So there is a google-search with a preset search-term. see FAQ How do I add search engines ...

The above code didn't quite work for me. I checked here Manual:Tag extensions and properly integrated the equivelent change with the code below. --Dmb 15:48, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Site specific?

TODO

• Alter the above to pick up the site name and base URL using MW parameters instead of the hard coded values.
• Be bold and replace the version on the extension page with this version.
• Get this into the MW SVN?

Hello,

 I have  a google mini search appliance that I use to index my wiki.
How can I replace or add a search box in my wiki to use my mini search and not wiki search.

Thanks
