I think I fixed this.. There are 2 parts.. one for the sidebar tags and another for the story tags.
Please note: this will only effect people using search method #4
First
Open yoursite/templates/yourtemplate/sidebar_modules/tags.tpl

Find

 <a href="{$tag_url[customer]}">{$tag_name[customer]}</a>

Replace it with

 <a href="{$my_base_url}{$my_pligg_base}/search.php?q={$tag_name[customer]}++&sa=Go&sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2F{$my_base_url}{$my_pligg_base}&flav=0002&client=pub-7688534628068296&forid=1&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&cof=GALT%3A%23008000%3BGL%3A1%3BDIV%3A%23336699%3BVLC%3A663399%3BAH%3Acenter%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BLBGC%3A336699%3BALC%3A0000FF%3BLC%3A0000FF%3BT%3A000000%3BGFNT%3A0000FF%3BGIMP%3A0000FF%3BFORID%3A11&hl=en">{$tag_name[customer]}</a>

Don't forget to replace the Google Publishers ID with your own

Next open yoursite/templates/yourtemplate/link_summary.tpl
Find

{if $enable_tags eq 'true'}
                {if $tags ne ''}
                    | 
                    <span id="ls_tags-{$link_shakebox_index}"><b><a href="{$URL_tagcloud}" title="Tags" style='text-decoration: none;'>{#PLIGG_Visual_Tags_Link_Summary#}</a></b>: 
                    {section name=thistag loop=$tag_array}
                        <a href="{$tags_url_array[thistag]}" style='text-decoration: none;'>{$tag_array[thistag]}</a>
                    {/section}
                    </span> 
                {/if}
            {/if}

Replace it with

{if $enable_tags eq 'true'}
{if $tags ne ''}
                    | 
                    <span id="ls_tags-{$link_shakebox_index}"><b><a href="{$URL_tagcloud}" title="Tags" style='text-decoration: none;'>{#PLIGG_Visual_Tags_Link_Summary#}</a></b>: 
                    {section name=thistag loop=$tag_array}
                        <a href="{$my_base_url}{$my_pligg_base}/search.php?q={$tags_url_array[thistag]}++&sa=Go&sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2F{$my_base_url}{$my_pligg_base}&flav=0002&client=pub-7688534628068296&forid=1&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&cof=GALT%3A%23008000%3BGL%3A1%3BDIV%3A%23336699%3BVLC%3A663399%3BAH%3Acenter%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BLBGC%3A336699%3BALC%3A0000FF%3BLC%3A0000FF%3BT%3A000000%3BGFNT%3A0000FF%3BGIMP%3A0000FF%3BFORID%3A11&hl=en" style='text-decoration: none;'>{$tag_array[thistag]}</a>
                    {/section}
                    </span> 
                {/if}
            {/if}

Once again don't forget to change your Google publishers ID..

Let me know how that works..

ChuckRoast -

Okay now we are showing some signs of progress - I am getting a site results error, clicking on the sidebar tags (but that is good - beter than the blank page it was showing).
No change in the Main TagCloud Page, but we have not modified any code for that, so I will try to apply that. I have some time this morning, so I will work on this and report back any progress.

Thanks

[chuckroast]

Another thing to remember is that once these changes are applied you will have to wait until Google re-indexes the site again for any results to appear.

[chuckroast]

For the Tag Cloud page just open
yoursite/yourtemplate/ tag_cloud.tpl
Find the following

<span style="font-size: {$tag_size[customer]}pt"><a href="{$tag_url[customer]}">{$tag_name[customer]}</a></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;

Replace with

<span style="font-size: {$tag_size[customer]}pt"><a href="{$my_base_url}{$my_pligg_base}/search.php?q={$tag_name[customer]}++&sa=Go&sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2F{$my_base_url}{$my_pligg_base}&flav=0002&client=pub-7688534628068296&forid=1&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&cof=GALT%3A%23008000%3BGL%3A1%3BDIV%3A%23336699%3BVLC%3A663399%3BAH%3Acenter%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BLBGC%3A336699%3BALC%3A0000FF%3BLC%3A0000FF%3BT%3A000000%3BGFNT%3A0000FF%3BGIMP%3A0000FF%3BFORID%3A11&hl=en">{$tag_name[customer]}</a></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;

Once again, don't forget to change your Google publisher ID

ChuckRoast -

No no issue with Google indexing - the sames search term and tag should and now does show correct results. I go it all going so, there where a few minor variations of the codes you posted. little changes to get it all to work - I will post the full SOLVED solution in the morning - for the moment my eyes are crossed and I need some sleep.

ChuckRoast - PM me so I can send you some money :)
