After researching the forum we have come to the conclusion that we can integrate a search function that searches one section of our site at a time. Since we only have a NEWS section, this will work fine.

We also use Google Adsense for Search to generate extra revenue. Can someone point us to the code and instructions for how to integrate a search function that will search Google or our site (NEWS section) differentiated by a media button?

Thank you!

Hi bastian

Thanks for posting!

I think what you are going to be looking for here is a bit of JavaScript to change where the forum submits to depending on which radio button has been selected. That could end up being a little tricky.

What would be a lot easier is if you had a quick CMS Builder search and then a quick Google search right below it.

Let me know what you think :).

Hi Bastain.

There isn't really any search code generated. What you'll want to do is built a search form template with just plain HTML.

Once you have the done, you'll need to change the field names in it so they match with the fields names in the section you want to search and then you point the search form at the appropriate results page.

Start with the HTML part though. Get your template ready and then let me know. We'll move onto the next step from there.

Thanks!
