Google Site Search Submits Wrong URL * SOLVED*

[doctorgirlfriend]

Hi gang,
When I set my Pligg Beta 9.8 install to use Google Site Search, the search.php pages comes up, but it doesn't find any results (Google says "Your search - new york - did not match any documents. .") And yes, I've tried several words that I know have been in the db a long time.
The URL is like this:

http://www.mysite.com/news/search.php?cx=010213779252248883968%3A3qxlljo_6tg&cof=FORID%3A10&sitesearch=%2Fnews&q=new+york&sa=Go#428

I find that if I manually change part of the URL from:

&sitesearch=%2Fnews

to:

&sitesearch=http://www.mysite.com/news

it lands me on the search.php page with plenty of results. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

* SOLVED AS I WAS TYPING THIS *
Here's a fix for anyone else having this problem:
Open header.tpl and change:

<input type="hidden" name="sitesearch" value="{$my_pligg_base}" checked="checked" />

to:

<input type="hidden" name="sitesearch" value="http://www.mysite.com/myinstallationfolder" checked="checked" />

The search probably works fine on top-level installations, but if you have your installed in a subdirectory this is a quick fix. =)

You may want to use the following files

/yget/search_center.tpl
/yget/header.tpl

From the 9.8.1 release. It has this fix plus allows the search to show google ads.

Why would you want google ads when they are not associated with you or your account and therefor make no $ from them?

How do I remove the google ads and just use google search?

You would want to put in your Google Adsense ID in header.tpl so you get credit for any ad clicks.

Hey Ash,

I don't see where in the header... i see the code if vote method == 4, but don't see it... Can you be a little more specific?

[AshDigg]

Should be line 22.

PHP Code:

                <input type="hidden" name="client" value="pub-7688534628068296"></input> 


Replace "pub-7688534628068296" with your adsense ID.

Testing 9.8.2 on a sub-folder..does the site need to be indexed by Googlebot first? as this doesn't seem to work :-/

where to put this code .... and if i put it , where google can read it ???? i mean is it working . btw i searched 9.8 but there is no code like this !!!

[Iceburg]

As an update... If I change the search option to something like option 3, and then I switch it back to URL method 4, the search works the first time, and then subsequent searching return no results... untill I switch to 3 and then back to 4 agian.

I cleared the cache, and the templates_c folder, what else could be happening here?
