I'm trying to create a Google custom search engine using iframes. I want the search bar to be in the top frame, and results to be displayed in the bottom frame. I've followed the instructions on the Google Custom Search instructions page, but somehow my results keep coming up at the top of the page (where the search bar is supposed to be).

I currently have pages - index.html, nav.html (where the search bar will be) and content.html (where I want content to be). My site is: http://fenderampshop.com/.

I'm pretty new at iframes and coding in general. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

You're best asking this on Google's own forums -- they're pretty helpful.

I would say Google can NOT post the search results in YOUR website when you are using the iframe method. Technically not possible.

That's why Google has e.g. the JS method to implement the custom search in your website using JavaScript.

I would say you should give that solution a "go".

you do not need frames to do that and second maybe you can have problems from google!


if you want i can give you the files of an old project of mine(only html ..no cms)... a search engine with google custom search! :P ! i've created a adsense code a for each country arround the globe! the idea was great but not enough motivation!

I suggest you should use search box on main page instead of iframe. Or use main page address in action of form tag.
