Google Custom Search for your browser/bookmarks

[mr-fan]

So i've somehting to share expecially for beginners with processwire!!

I'm like others here not really satisfied with the forum search - so i decided to make a google custom search page

https://www.google.com/cse/publicurl?cx=014789015761400632609:fxrf0rj4wr4

but the optical result is not that i imagine so i created a very small html page with the PW Logo + Google CSE JS Code
and now it looks better....

so i've had a fast search on the

• /talk/
• /api/
• /docs/
• and cheatsheet pages from processwire.com!

so maybe it's usefull for anybody?

Have Fun

Nice. Some time ago I tried to make a Firefox searchplugin, but didn't got it working. So thanks for this solution.

now I made it for Firefox!

Take a look at this site: http://www.searchplugins.net/generate.aspx

Search URL:

https://www.google.com/search?q=site:processwire.com%2Ftalk+TEST

Suggestion URL (optional):

https://www.google.com/search?q=site:processwire.com%2Ftalk+TEST

Search plugin title: ProcessWire Forum Search

Icon: uploaded a small copy of the PW favicon

result:

<SearchPlugin xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/" xmlns:os="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">

</SearchPlugin>

Then create the plugin and install it in FX.

EDIT: give the new plugin in Firefox a keyword (character), so you don't need to change the search.

My example character is p. E.g. you type p field dependencies in the adressbar, hit enter --> ready
