Hi John,

I, too, would like to add Google Custom Search to my blog. In your post above, you refer to another one of your posts, “How to Add Google Custom Search to Wordpress Blog”, but it’s not linked anywhere. Would you mind pointing me to that post? I think it would be very helpful, especially since I’m not a coding genius.

Thanks for your help — and Happy Holidays!

John, forgive me if this is a stupid question but some of the newbies out there (including me) would like to know. When I first started blogging a webmaster I know built me a custom template for a blog managed by Wordpress and hosted with Dreamhost. This was a time before the free blogging platforms came out. Are most bloggers now using the free platforms like WP, Blogger, Tumblr, etc where all the good plug ins you talk about can be added by the blogger? Because any custom plug ins I want on my WP blogs other than the standard ones available with WP 2.8 have to be installed by my webmaster. What would be the correct terminology for a WP blog that is custom or the diff between WP.org and WP.com in being able to use custom plug ins?

@Extreme John, Heeeelp! I need to ask you a question. I installed the Google Customer Search on my blog and it works great. Only problem is the page that shows the search results shows up in my navigation bar at the top of my blog. How do I keep it from showing up? I realize you are XXXtremly busy so your time answering this question is greatly appreciated. Please

@Mike from Daily Shot Of Coffee, I make that statement because it doesn’t really offer any useful information for anyone to actually put to use, it’s more about just searching this site.

The benefit to me as a blogger is that I can either search my own site or all of my blogs from one search engine, I always seem to get the result I want which differs from what WP returns, in addition to reducing the amount of time it takes me to write posts and deep link my blog.

Ah hell, I wish I had it for myself sometime, the WP search in the admin even sucks s,sometimes and that’s designed to return posts!

Ok so none of the sites I’ve built incorporate blogs (yet) but this google search is very useful for any site, no matter how large or small.

As long as it is programmed correctly it can be invaluable for keeping visitors on your site if they cant find what they want instantly.

Heck, even I make use of these boxes on websites I view!

Actually this is the info I’ve been looking for. I want to add the box, but I wanted it to search my post not the entire web. So Thanks

@Extreme John, haha same to me. I’m going to modify my google custom search box, make the result to be displayed in my blog page should be better.
