Hi there, Has anyone any experience in implementing Google Site Search in place of the standard WordPress search that can either help me or point me to a "How To". I have searched the forum, & Web, but keep hitting dead ends. Thanks in advance.

Have you seen this plugin? Haven't used it but it looks promising...

Okay I have been playing around and it certainly looks like this Plugin will do the job. That said my coding knowledge is rater rusty and I can't figure out how to get the customised search box to appear in place of the stand WordPress search box. Any suggestions?

You might be better off doing it manually, see:

And for the last part you could instead go to:

Appearance > Editor > Search Form (searchform.php)

OR

If you're using Base copy searchform.php over to the Base folder first and then edit it there.

Thanks, Bryan
