Main Site's Search Functionality

[mprzybylski]

Hey guys,
I sent this as a private message to Kirupa a couple of days ago but he's probably too busy to answer so I'm gonna post it here in case anyone knows.

I noticed that the main site, when you search, uses a search engine powered by google which comes back with results for this site only. Can you please point me in the direction to where I can get something like that for my site? I did some searching in the developer section of google but from my understanding that is a paid solution. is this true for this site? or is there a free alternative? any help would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks!
Matt

You can also use Adsense for search (https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=17960). It's the same thing except you get money from the ads shown on the results page.

Yea, w/ the link I provided in the control panel you can optionally add Adsense to it too :). Does the same thing except you have more control over the options you want (I think. I don't use Adsense so I dunno what options you get)
