TracGoogleSearch_ is a trac_ plugin which enables your trac_ environment to
use Google_'s Adsense_ For Search on the mini search box displayed on top.
**Note:** Regular trac_ search won't be disabled, the users must click the
*"Search"* button to access it, and will only show up and work if user has
``SEARCH_VIEW`` permissions, unlike this plugin, which does not
require any special permissions since it's querying Google_ not trac_.
Installation
------------
Installing the plugin is as easy as::
sudo easy_install TracGoogleSearch
And then enabling it:
.. code-block:: ini
[components]
tracext.google.search.* = enabled
And that's it!
Configuration
-------------
In order to use this plugin you must first create a custom search engine on
your Adsense_ account, configure it like you want it and choose to display
the results on a page on your own website.
If you wish Google_ to show results relative to the domain of your trac_
environment, on your Adsense_ account, edit your search engine settings, choose
*"view more advanced features"*, select *"Search the entire web but emphasize
included sites"* and then under *"Sites"* add your trac_ environment domain.
From the resulting code that Google_ provides we'll need the values from the
hidden fields named, **cx** and **cof**, ie, your client id and search id
strings.
Consider the following example code:
.. code-block:: text/html
<form action="http://domain.tld/gsearch" id="cse-search-box">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-0000000000000000:0aaaa0aaa00a" />
<input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:1" />
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" />
<input type="text" name="q" size="31" />
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.google.com/coop/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&lang=en"></script>
The values you'll need to remember would be
**partner-pub-0000000000000000:0aaaa0aaa00a** and **FORID:1**, the rest of the
code will be provided by the plugin.
The plugin can then be configured on trac_'s administration panel, under the
section **Google** and then **Search**.
