I'm trying to have multiple search field on the same page with Google Custom Search (GCS) like this :
<script>
(function() {
var cx = 'user_id:field_id1';
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:search></gcse:search>
<script>
(function() {
var cx = 'user_id:field_id2';
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:search></gcse:search>
Unfortunatly, It does not work. The search is made with the same cx
for every field. When It do the ajax request on this address : https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1element... there is this value : &cx=user_id:field_id1
and the value is the same for both fields.
What is the solution?
I already seen this question : Multiple Google CSE (Custom Search Engine) Boxes on Same Page, but it seems to be on another version.
This is a tested solution. Took me a while but I'm slow and I don't use CSS all the time.
Use the V1 code. When you select Get Code on the setup screen there is an option for the V1 code.
Put your search code in a div
div tag
searchcode
end div tag
Make your cse variables unique. That will be two places at the top of the code.
div id='cse'
and a little lower
customSearchControl.draw('cse', options);
For each search these should be the same but different than the other searches. I used cse0, cse1, cse2.
This will fix the searches so each search will work as specified but they will still share the same CSS.
So scope your styles with the scoped attribute.
style type='text/css' scoped
Do this for each search code. Now your searches can have their own look and feel, color, etc.
