I have always wanted to customise search engines and was thrilled when Google campe up wtih it’s CSE. I quickly created a few. Though they offer the codes to display the search in my site, I was not able to implement it in my wordpress site due to Javascripts. This problem was solved by the an ingenuine idea at easywordpress. Using the suggested method, I successfully got the CSE on my site and the results were displaying.
Unfortunately, the result frame size was larger than the width of my main column. As a result, my other columns were being pushed down creating a totally awkward output. I tried tweaking the javascript that google provided, but found that it was working. After some search, I’ve found a reply by a google engineer that the minimum size for the Google CSE results is 500, more than my main column. If I want ads on the right rather than the top, it has to be larger (atleast 700 px). This effectively rules out Google CSE for my website. It’s a pity, but I’ll have to live with it.
