Google Search Result

Is it possible that modify the search script to let it starts a new window to have google search result when my user can get any result from my search engine?

I am not sure I understand what you mean, but you can do something like this:

http://slashdemocracy.org/...d=1&query=google

with LSQL and the Google API.

You could just have a link on your search.html page

<%if query%><a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=<%term%>" target="_blank">Try a search for <%query%> in Google</a><%endif%>

Is it possible to compile the google api to Links SQL?

Well, it is possible to integrate Google search results into your LSQL, as the link I gave above shows. I use an inline frame, so it is a bit cheaty; if I were a better coder I would integrate the results into search.cgi. Is that what you mean?

Re: [erichk] Google Search Result In reply to

I'd just like to modify search_results.html template to allow users to extend search to google (and others).
Does anyone know how this is possible ?
Thanks

Ok I've modified search_results.html template using <%query%> and <%term%> tags. It works fine.

But now I wonder how I could replace the sentence "No Matching Links." when no result is found with something like :

Code:
No Matching Links, try your to search <%query%> here : 
<br> 
<a href="http://www.google.com/search?num=10&query=<%term%>" target="_blank">Google</a>&nbsp;-  
<a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?q=<%term%>" target="_blank">Google USENET</a>

instead of the search.html page ?

Hi. Try the following;

Code:
<%if error contains "No Matching Links"%> 
   show your google stuff here 
<%else%> 
  show form and error here 
<%endif%>

"contains" is a pretty cool template parser feature, which I've only just learned about :D

Nah, you need to put it in search.html, as this is where <%error%> is shown if no results were found :0
