Using an external Search

Post by Dkadilak62263 »

We'd like to replace Flare search. Instead use maybe Google or Conveo search. Does anyone have any experience with this or is anyone currently doing this?

I've looked at Google Custom Search before, and that is quite easy to integrate in a project.

If you are using Flare 11, you can hide the existing search box. If you use the top nav skin, you can hide the search box using styles - MadCap does this on the Home page in its top navigation template.

How what?

To use Google Custom Search, see https://cse.google.com/cse/

To hide the top nav search bar, switch it off in the skin; Styles > header >Search bar > Layout > Display > None.
