Great thanks for the quick reply. I have installed it and it seems to work ok, except that GOOGLESEARCHWEB does not get resolved

-- PeterJones - 21 Nov 2006

Did you incidentally add a space after the web name?

-- ArthurClemens - 21 Nov 2006

Hello

I have tried

 %GOOGLESEARCHWEB% 

 %GOOGLEAJAXSEARCH% 

I had spaces before and after the % signs

It gets resolves in the Plugin topic but not in topics in other webs.

Could you please add your complete code (without key), this will make it easier to pinpoint the problem.

It is a copy of the code from the example

%GOOGLEAJAXSEARCH%

<div class="googleAjaxSearch">
<strong>Search %GOOGLESEARCHWEB% </strong><input class="twikiInputField" size="55" id="googleAjaxSearchInputElement" value=""/>
<input type="hidden" id="googleAjaxSearchWeb" value="myWeb" />
<span class="twikiGrayText twikiSmallish">(results by Google !AJAX - Beta)</span>
<div id="googleAjaxSearchControl"></div>
</div><!--//googleAjaxSearch-->

The settings in the Plugin are as follows

 Settings
For an explanation of the following variables read above. These are example variable values:

    * Set GOOGLEKEY = xxxxxxxxxxxx
    * Set GOOGLESEARCHWEB = Main
    * Set GOOGLESEARCHSITE = https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/
    * Set GOOGLESEARCHLABEL = TWiki at CERN
    * Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Dynamic Google AJAX search service for public TWiki sites

Currently only settings in the plugin topic are read. I am working on an update, expect it today.

I have updated the plugin. See GoogleAjaxSearchPlugin.

Note that your Google key must be valid for the directory you are searching in, not the directory your search box is in.
