Hi,

For google search to work, google has to have already indexed your site. So if your site just went live then google hasn't likely indexed it yet. I don't get what you mean by it worked in testing unless your testing site was public and already indexed by google.

Also google can only index the public pages as opposed to the lucene search index which can show results from pages protected by roles if the user doing the search is in an allowed role.

To use google search for your site you need to create a custom search account and put your google search id in Site Settings under the API keys tab.

See:

Hope that helps,

Joe

Are you using the latest version of mojoPortal? If not try upgrading and see if the problem persists.

Should work in the latest version, I found the thread where this was fixed when using the search box in layout.master. Previously it was not triggering the google search since it is javascript and not based on the url.

Hi,

I just tested this on my local machine and it didn't work, but after making one small change it did work, so this will be fixed in the next release.

To clarify what wasn't working was using the searchInput control in the layout.master page, it just redirects to the search results page passing the search term in the query string but the google search was not picking up that query string so it was only working if you enter the search term after going to the search results page. Now with the fix it will pickup the search term from the query string and execute the search.

Until the next release the best solution is just to use the search link rather than the search input, ie set LinkOnly="true" on the <portal:SearchInput control

then after the next release (sometime later this month) you can remove that and go with the search input box.

Best,

Joe
