Knowledge: Java, C++
I am attempting to add a search bar to my site that will search the entire site (not just one page). I was having trouble finding tutorials to code this myself and I have no knowledge of javascript or HTML. I went with the google custom site search and the actual code works just fine I just have a separate issue. I added the code to an HTML item but when I search, the search only shows up in the little window I have allowed for it. Is there any way to have this open as a new page, or at the very least, in a new tab? The only fix I have is to spread the box across the entire page but then I can’t use the links so that really isn’t a fix. Should I give up on this and just focus on making my own or try working this code into the page code?
UPDATE: In the CSE ‘look and feel’ settings, I was able to set it to set it to open in a new page or in the window. However, if it is set to open in the same page the search box just disappears after being used. Is opening in a new tab the best I can get it or could I circumvent that somehow?
Code:
gcse:searchbox-only</gcse:searchbox-only>
As you can see by my tabs, this has been a lot of fun :')
