It is a burden for Weebly Free accounts not to have the-so-precious "search button" on their published sites. There are other options though, including the upgrade from FREE to paid PRO or using CSE for FREE. Google Custom Search Engine is the best alternative so far. Aside from being FREE, it even helps you indexed your pages quicker plus you can monetize from the results. Our demo will be the DEMO page itself, just look at its navigation menu.
INTRODUCTION
Well, I've been reading the comments from the original post of this tutorial on stylifyyourblog.com and I've found many unanswered questions regarding errors for this topic. However, it pushes me to study deeper then gladly, I made everything perfect for Weebly template and now its time to share with you.
Our goal is:
1. Customize the CSE making it a "part" of our website.
2. Showing the secret method on how to let results appear on our own site or page. (next post)
3. Insert our customized CSE to our navigation menu. This is EXCLUSIVE for my FeedBurner subscribers only so subscribe now for FREE and beep me a request.
Before proceeding, you MUST read the following topics:
TUTORIAL
1. Once you made your own CSE and registered your site, go to the "look and feel" tab and from the right > click on the "results only" > click the "save and get code" button and look at the code.
Google Custom Search Engine changes everytime. But on the date I wrote this tutorial, your CSE must be something like this:
<script>
(function() {
var cx = '003074870824758447082:2efnarx24wu';
var gcse = document.createElement('script');
gcse.type = 'text/javascript';
gcse.async = true;
gcse.src = (document.location.protocol == 'https:' ? 'https:' : 'http:') +
'//www.google.com/cse/cse.js?cx=' + cx;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s);
})();
</script>
<gcse:searchresults-only></gcse:searchresults-only>
(function() {
var cx = '003074870824758447082:2efnarx24wu';
var gcse = document.createElement('script');
gcse.type = 'text/javascript';
gcse.async = true;
gcse.src = (document.location.protocol == 'https:' ? 'https:' : 'http:') +
'//www.google.com/cse/cse.js?cx=' + cx;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s);
})();
</script>
<gcse:searchresults-only></gcse:searchresults-only>
Just focus on the red marked text. Note that from the code above, there is no way to customize it so we need to create a form that can be styled.
2. So here is our sample form code from stylifyyourblog.com:
<form id="searchbox_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:YYYYYYYYYYY" action="URL of the Page where the Result is to be shown">
<input value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:YYYYYYYYYYY" name="cx" type="hidden"/>
<input value="FORID:11" name="cof" type="hidden"/>
<input id="q" name="q" size="70" type="text" />
<input value="Search" name="sa" type="submit"/>
</form>
<input value="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:YYYYYYYYYYY" name="cx" type="hidden"/>
<input value="FORID:11" name="cof" type="hidden"/>
<input id="q" name="q" size="70" type="text" />
<input value="Search" name="sa" type="submit"/>
</form>
The code above is a sample HTML of our CSE. We will be using different HTML with different styles as shown on step 4. Just remember that the value in green text must be changed into your own CX code. Your CX code can be seen as the red text on step 1 code. Use yours of course coz that's mine :) Also, you need to replace the yellow marked text into the real page you want your results to show. This will be discussed on the next post, just focus first on styling.
3. Below are the three styles for your search bar. Each has their own HTML (structure) and CSS (styling). I edited them to make it compatible to our site. Note that there are selectors which cannot be changed so you need to INSERT JUST ONE TYPE of CSE on your site. One type means a pair of HTML and its CSS.
How are you going to use the codes below?
For the CSS, insert the code to Weebly > Design > Edit CSS/HTML > main-style.css > scroll the codes on the right and paste it to the very bottom.
For the HTML, simply go to the page you want > drag an "embed code" element and paste it.
4. Ok here are the three, edited CSE styles:

CONCLUSION
After learning how to style your CSE, we will be discussing how to configure the search results on my next post so stay tune. If you think your site is less worthy because there isn't an option to insert a "personalized" search button, now think again! Our home "myweeblytricks.com" is here to help you grow your site.
