HTML - Create A Shortcut Search For Google Or Youtube

I want a Form that searches google on my home page. Not a hyperlink to google but a text area and then maybe a dropdown menu for Google, Yahoo, Google Images, Alltheweb.

Any help would be appreciated.

I teach middle school and I want the students to search directly from my site.

I have the links to google and other sites but I don't have the correct code.

Could someone have a look and help me out?

So when you type in a search, it doesn't just go to google but it searches google.

Thanks.

Hi -

I've noticed on my site that the code Google Search generates behaves differently in Firefox than in IE7. The code is adding extra spaces above the Google forms. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I correct it?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi there,

Firstly, I am really really new to HTML and i am trying to learn, pretty much through trial and error and a bit of on the side reading, so sorry if this is a really easy and silly question.

Secondly, any help would really be appreciated becasue I have looked EVERYWHERE and can't seem to find out how to do this. So thank you in advance

OK. I designed a webpage with a virtual arabic keyboard (just for fun!.lol), I havent used javascript or anything like that, my buttons are made up of a MAP. For example:

input class= "bt" type="button" onclick="document.form.textarea.value=document.form.textarea.value + '١'; "
shape=RECT coords="93, 115, 143, 163">

What I want to do is, when I click one of the buttons on the keyboard, I want it to open a new window/tab and search the contents of the textarea in google.com.

I have tried loads of things, but nothing seems to work.

My website is: www.arabic-keys.com

Thank you once again in advance for all your help! Mucho appreciated!

I made a site with Dreamweaver that has frames and within those frames I have different html pages that load into them. I came across an extension once which I believe prevented those pages from coming up in Google searches but cannot relocate it. These pages are just bare text and should not be accessed by themselves.

I'm using IE8 to test

Hi, I'm trying to add a google search box (in a table) to my web page, but for some reason it the input button links to the page I am currently on. The strange part is that I put the same exact code in another cell right next to the other google search box and that one works wonderfully while the first one still links to the current page. It is the same with any search engine (yahoo, bing, ask), the first search box links to the current page and the rest work great. Here is the code I use:
Code:

                <form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search">
                <input style="width:140px" type="text" name="q" size="31" maxlength="255" value="" /><br />
                <input type="submit" value="Google Search" />
                </form>

I'm working on a website trying to get the Custimized Google Search bar where I want it. But I can't seem to get it to adjust the width or the height.

I'm sure I'm probably doing something stupid, but I'm a noob. Please help!

Here's what it looks like in preview:


This is what the code looks like:


!!!!

Try googling "SWTOR". The first link has a very nice description, e.g., several links to the material within etc.

How can I do this? Can someone link some sample code? Is this all done within the meta description?

Thanks all! Love the advice here on this forum )

I made update to the HTML code of an website. After update, I searched a content in google. Still google searches the previous HTML content in search results. If I open the search result, new updated HTMl code is displayed. My question is how to remove completely the information more google search results. Please help.

I tried searching the site but couldnt find anything. So i want to make a search bar that searches different websites, and opens chosen websites in new windows with the search term that was entered in my search bar in the search bar of that site that comes up.

For example on my website, i would have a search bar and selectable box options below it with website names such as amazon, target, walmart, ebay, barnes & nobles, etc. So say i want to find a book and i put in the isbn number on the search bar in my website and i have all those websites checked. When i search that isbn number, all those websites pop up in pop up windows and show results from their website searches. (for example amazon will display an amazon search result of that isbn number, barnes and nobles will have the isbn searched and the results displayed.

The end result i am looking for is to have coding like this website, www.autotempest.com . How when u search cars, all the website results are displayed in their own tabs within the website, keeping the user always on autotempest.com instead of into pop ups.

if you could link me to other topics or show me some websites where i can learn how to code something like that, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, I need to add a search in a site, that is combined by a text field, a drop down menu, and a submit button.
The code is like this:

<html>
<body>
<input type="text" name="textfield" />
<select name="select">
<option>Google Scholar</option>
<option>Google Books </option>
<option>Yahoo</option>
<option>Altavista</option>
<option>Webcrawler</option>
<option>Metacrawler</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</body>
</html>


What I need it to do, and I can't find how to, is this:

When I type something in the text field, and choose (for example) Yahoo,
when i press "submit", I need to redirect to www.yahoo.com, and the results already in the site, presented.

I could do it with one site easily, but the drop down menu, with all these search engines, is my difficulty....

Thanks in advance!
Great site, great job!

Hey all,

I'm pretty sure this is a very easy solution, I've just been staring at it too long and am probably missing the cause.

I'm using Google's site search API and using their "Results Only" setup, so I design my own search box, then just drop their code into the results page and specify the variable the query is being passed as. So here's my search box:

Code:

<form method="post" action="/search-results/?q=">    	
<input id="searchTxt" type="text" maxlength="128" name="q" size="15" value="Search" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Search') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Search';}" />
<input type="image" name="op" value="Search" src="/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/search-button-magnifier.png" />

And the results code via Google:
Code:

<div id="cse" style="width: 100%;">Loading</div>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> 
  function parseQueryFromUrl () {
    var queryParamName = "q";
    var search = window.location.search.substr(1);
    var parts = search.split('&');
    for (var i = 0; i < parts.length; i++) {
      var keyvaluepair = parts[i].split('=');
      if (decodeURIComponent(keyvaluepair[0]) == queryParamName) {
        return decodeURIComponent(keyvaluepair[1].replace(/\+/g, ' '));
      }
    }
    return '';
  }
  google.load('search', '1', {language : 'en'});
  google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
    var customSearchControl = new google.search.CustomSearchControl('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX');
    customSearchControl.setResultSetSize(google.search.Search.FILTERED_CSE_RESULTSET);
    var options = new google.search.DrawOptions();
    options.enableSearchResultsOnly();     
    customSearchControl.draw('cse', options);
    var queryFromUrl = parseQueryFromUrl();
    if (queryFromUrl) {
      customSearchControl.execute(queryFromUrl);
    }
  }, true);
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.google.com/cse/style/look/default.css" type="text/css" />

But nothing seemingly the query is not sent with the user to the results page. Manually adding "?q=test" shows the results work. Am I missing something here? I'm using Wordpress on this site, so not sure if the permalink setup is screwing with it at all.

Thanks for the help

When I use this code in Google it works fine:

Quote:
<form name="f" action="http://www.google.com/search" method="get" name="fo" target="_self">
<input name="q" type="checkbox" style="width: 20px" value="avi|mpg|mpeg|wmv|rmvb|asf|divx|xvid"> <span class="style17"><strong>Ficheiros avi</strong></span></td>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr valign="top">
<td width="25%">
</td>
<td nowrap="nowrap" align="middle">
<input name="q" type="text" id="q" />
<input style="WIDTH: 75px" type="submit" value="Procurar" />
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</form>
But when I use this same code on blogsearch.google.com it does not deliver the word I'm searching.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
