Hi -

I use a custom theme, which simply doesn’t include the search results page in the navigation. So the most easy way would be to choose a theme which lets you hide pages from the navgiation..

Actually im still getting the problem, ive troubleshooted it and found out that its because – when I hide my search results page – using publish as draft – then i get this error – please could you advise on how to hard code remove the search page created for search results from the main navigation – I don’t want to select Private – else you get the “Private:Search Results” showing

Hi -

For my personal understanding the length and the button should not be a problem. Especially since the length of the search box can already be customized on the Google CSE site itself.

According to the Terms of Service (http://www.google.com/cse/docs/tos.html?hl=en) this is relevant for the search box:

“The Search Box shall conspicuously display a graphic that indicates that the Service is provided by Google. Google’s branding guidelines at http://www.google.com/cse/docs/branding.html provide a set of graphic options available. The graphic shall link to the Google site located at http://www.google.com or such other address as Google may designate from time to time during the Term.”

Hope that helps – otherwise you can visit the official support forum:

Can I modify the Google custom search code to dwell with my site design ? Will it violate Adsense policies If I touch the custom search code ? I will just be editing CSS parameters of the search button, input field and reduce the length of the input box.

Please help !
