Så här lägger du till Google Search på en site i WordPress (det enkla sättet)

Som standard levereras WordPress med en inbyggd sökfunktion, men den är inte särskilt bra. Du kan dock enkelt ändra på det genom att lägga till Google Search i stället för att ge mer relevanta och korrekta resultat.

Detta kommer att förbättra användarupplevelsen på din blogg och göra det lättare för besökarna att hitta det innehåll de letar efter.

I den här artikeln visar vi dig hur du enkelt addar Google Search till en site i WordPress.

Add Google Search in a WordPress Site

Varför ska du använda Google Search i WordPress?

Den utvalda funktionen för search i WordPress är inte särskilt användbar och Misslyckas ofta med att hitta relevanta resultat på användarnas sökningar. Detta tvingar många webbplatsägare att leta efter alternativ.

Du kan använda ett populärt tillägg för search i WordPress. Problemet är dock att du fortfarande måste hantera det pluginet, och det kommer att påverka dina server-resurser.

Å andra sidan kan du använda Googles tillförlitliga och kraftfulla utvalda search-funktion istället. Den är gratis, allow you att limit the search to your sites only, och kan runas från din WordPress site.

Dessutom är Google search snabb, användarna litar redan på varumärket och du behöver ej underhålla eller updating det. You can even allow users to search external websites on Google if needed.

Med detta sagt, låt oss se hur du enkelt kan add to en Google site search till din WordPress webbplats.

Så här addar du Google Search till en site i WordPress

Du kan enkelt add to Google Search till din WordPress site genom att besöka Google Programmable Search Engine website.

Klicka sedan på knappen ”Kom igång”.

Click the get started button on the Programmable Search Engine page

Du kommer då till sidan ”Create a new search engine”, där du måste add to ett namn på det sökformulär som du nu ska skapa.

Därefter väljer du alternativet ”Search specific sites or pages” i ”What to search?” section och add to your WordPress site’s URL.

Nu kommer Googe Site Search endast att indexera det content som finns tillgängligt på din website. Men om du vill att Google ska visa sökresultat från andra websites också, kan du välja alternativet ”Search the entire web”.

Add website URL to create Google Site search

Därefter rullar du ner och togglar på alternativet ”Image Search” för att allow your Google Search form to index images on your website. Vi rekommenderar det här alternativet om du säljer foton online, har en website för fotografier eller runar en blogg om resor.

Efter det kan du också toggle på ”Safe Search” -knappen så att användarna inte visas olämpliga resultat för sina sökningar.

När du är klar klickar du på knappen ”Create”.

Click create to generate a google search engine ID

Google kommer nu att generera din ID:n för search engine åt dig.

Därefter kopierar du bara koden och klistrar in den i en Notepad-app eller vanlig textredigerare.

Copy the Google Search Engine ID from the website

Nu måste du besöka din WordPress dashboard och editera dina theme-filer för att add the search till din sites <body>. Detta kan dock vara riskabelt, och minsta error kan förstöra din website.

Det är därför vi rekommenderar att du använder WPCode istället. Det är det bästa WordPress code snippets plugin på marknaden som gör det säkert och enkelt att lägga till custom code.

Först måste du installera och aktivera pluginet WPCode. Detaljerade instruktioner finns i vår guide för nybörjare om hur man installerar ett plugin för WordPress.

Note: WPCode har en gratis plan som du kan använda för denna tutorial. Men om du uppgraderar till Pro-versionen får du tillgång till fler funktioner som smart villkorlig logik, ett molnbibliotek med code snippets och mer.

Efter aktivering, besök Code Snippets ” + Add Snippet page från WordPress admin sidebar. Här klickar du på knappen ”Use Snippet” under alternativet ”Add Your Custom Code (New Snippet)”.

Add new snippet

Detta tar dig till sidan ”Create Custom Snippet”, där du kan skriva in vilket namn du gillar för snippet. Välj sedan ”Universal Snippet” som code type i dropdown-menyn till höger.

När du har gjort det klistrar du bara in Googles ID:n för Search Engine i boxen ”Code Preview”.

Paste the Google Search Engine ID into WPCode preview box

Bläddra sedan ner till avsnittet ”Insertion” och välj läget ”Auto Insert”. Efter aktivering kommer Google Search-formuläret automatiskt att läggas till på din webbplats.

Efter det kan du förstora dropdown-menyn ”Location” för att välja var du vill visa din search box.

Om du t.ex. vill visa sökformuläret högst upp på alla dina pages och posts kan du välja alternativet ”Insert Before Post”.

Choose location and insertion for the search engine ID

Därefter rullar du tillbaka högst upp och togglar omkopplaren ”Inaktiverad” till ”Aktiv”.

Slutligen klickar du på knappen ”Save Snippet” för att lagra dina Settings.

Save Google Search Engine ID snippet

Du har utan problem lagt till ett formulär för Google Site search manuellt.

Du kan nu besöka din WordPress blogg för att se den i action.

Google Search preview

Alternativ: Använd SearchWP för att skapa ett fantastiskt sökformulär

Om du tycker att det är svårt att add to Google Site Search till din website eller om du letar efter ett alternativ kan du använda SearchWP för intern sökning.

Det är det bästa WordPress search plugin på marknaden som automatiskt ersätter standard sökformuläret och tillåter användare att hitta allt de behöver på din site.

The SearchWP homepage

SearchWP används av över 30 000 websites och låter dig skapa en customize relevansskala för att justera search-algoritmen.

Du kan också göra alla delar av din webbplats sökbara, inklusive PDF-filer, anpassade inläggstyper, media, kommentarer, anpassade fält, WooCommerce-produkter och mycket mer.

Om du har en flerspråkig site kan du också skapa en flerspråkig search med detta plugin.

Configure SearchWP engine settings

Du måste dock komma ihåg att, till skillnad från Google Search, kan plugin bara indexera och visa resultat för content som är available på your website.

För mer details, you can see our tutorial on how to improve WordPress search with SearchWP.

    I would like to add the google search to my blog because it seems to be very fast and accurate but i do not want my users to see ”enhanced by Google” in the search field. I would like to put my own content so that the feature appears to be purely created on my blog. Is that possible?

    • WPBeginner Support

      In the look and feel settings of the search engine options there are a few choices you can use depending on what you are wanting to do!

    Hi there, thanks for the well-explained method. The only problem I had was after activate and save the snipped I was taken to a page: ”403 Forbidden Access to this resource on the server is denied!”. How, I guess I have to do something in my cPanel or have to contact the hosting provider to fix this?
    Regards

    Great guide!

    Finding relevant information quickly on a WordPress site can be frustrating with the default search. I’ve been considering integrating either the Google Programmable Search Engine or the SearchWP plugin to improve the search experience for my visitors.

    I’m leaning towards SearchWP for better control over relevancy, but I’m curious if anyone has tips for optimizing its performance on larger sites?

    • WPBeginner Support

      It would depend on the size of the site, SearchWP has documentation on the plugin’s site for it’s different site size recommendations.

      Administratör

    • Jiří Vaněk

      I have tested SearchWP and can recommend it for larger sites as well. Specifically tested on a website with more than 1300 articles and many categories.

  5. Jiří Vaněk

    This sounds like a very handy alternative to the classic WordPress search. Does it also have any impact on better indexing of the site?

    • WPBeginner Support

      Indexing of your content would be handled through things like SEO plugins, these search options would not affect your indexing.

      Administratör

  6. Cammy

    Is there a way to set it up so the search results are served on a custom page of my website – i.e. the search results page or one with my sites header and footer?

    • WPBeginner Support

      That is what the plugin should allow if we understand what you’re looking for correctly

    How to replace WordPress theme Search with Google Custom Search instead of adding a widget?

    • WPBeginner Support

      That would depend on your theme. If you reach out to your theme’s support they should be able to assist.

    How did you get your WordPress search icon via the header to show Google search results? That is actually what I am trying to do and it seems impossible with my scope of skillset. A tutorial would be great but I am sure it wouldn’t be as easy to give a tutorial on something like that. Thank you for this article, though!

    • WPBeginner Support

      If your theme does not have the option to add a search widget to your header, you would want to reach out to your theme’s support for hot to add it to your specific theme.

        I actually figured it out 10 minutes after sending my comment, of course. It involved two things of code from Google. One code replaced what was in my searchform.php file while placing the other code on the search results page. Super easy, but now I just have to customize the looks so that it looks better with my theme.

        Thanks and regards,

        J

        • WPBeginner Support

          Glad you were able to figure it out :)

  9. Ruhul Mashbu

    When I insert the google engine id the plugin automatically creates a page where the search result will be displayed. But what I need is to change the link of the page where the search result will be displayed. How can I do that?

  10. Yohan Perera

    I am using the WP Google Search Plugin. I was so frustrated because I couldn’t get the search icon show. Your tip on customizing the search box through the dashboard in Google Custom Search solved the problem.

  11. Graham FB

    Cool artricle but what I wanted to have a the custom search box in the centre of a blank page as if it was a google search page. I found the plugin Blank Slate which gives the blank page just not sure how to either center and limit the width of the search box either by code or shortcode any ideas ??

  12. Saurabh Saneja

    Thanks wpbeginner your articles have always helped me a lot. I wanted to do it manually because that way wherever I have search form it’ll be replace by custom google search and your article did work for me as always :)

    When i tried it first it didn’t work because I registered website as http(s) or didn’t enclose the code within a div so it really gave e a hard time. Anyway i am all thanks for your help!!

    Thanks again :)

  13. Dwi Okta N

    oh.. use the plugin. Iam just know it.

    thx for info..

  14. Craig

    I figured it out. My Search Result page wasn’t published yet.

  15. Craig

    It works exactly how I want it to, searching 2 different web sites, as long as I am logged into WP Admin. Once I’m no longer logged in to the WP Admin I get

    Not Found
    Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.

    What step did I miss?

    • Dibyandu Pal

      I don’t have much idea about web designing and further customizing. I am learning wordpress blogging from last 5 months, and I think it may be due to a problem while publishing your search result page. There is a visibility option in edit page mode. If that page is private or password protected, this problem you said may arise. If it is done so, make it public..

  16. Ankit Yadav

    Works great.

  17. Koala

    Thank you very helpful! :)

  18. Stacey

    Can the Google Search be used on Internal company websites?
    If so how is this accomplished?

  19. Shri

    Plugin method works well for me. But I am trying to replace theme’s native menu bar search functionality with CSE. Its wordpress native search only. So manual editing searchform.php method should work for me.
    But after editing searchform.php my search widget vanishes from sidebar. I am using Colormag theme by themegrill.
    Looking out for a help.

    I am also keen to see mentioned in above comment but this site is offline now. I tried to fetch it from wayback machine but couldn’t found in its past impressions.

    • Dana

      The same thing happens to me when I paste that code into searchform.php. Not sure this is proper as searchform.php by default is an HTML form. The code copied from Custom Google Search is a JavaScript tag…. should this even work??

    Really Helpful topic as always.

  21. Jackson

    Hi Wpbeginner,

    This worked like charm! The manual method is just as awesome as you wrote. Google custom search now showing on my site!

    Thank you so much.

  22. Claire Brotherton

    Can you only implement custom search when the site is live and indexed by Google? If it’s hidden or password protected, can it be added then?

      • Claire Brotherton

        That’s what I thought. Thanks for your reply! :)

  23. Susanna

    I am trying to add Google Search with the Plugin to my website. I got as far as the step where I am supposed to paste the search engine ID into the WP Google Search’s settings page. My settings page does not seem to have any place where I can do this. Can you tell me where the ID should be pasted and what it is called?

    Thanks.

  24. fdecicco

    the manual way of doing this is poorly described and a total waste of time. If you gonna do something do it right ir dont do it at all.

    • WPBeginner Support

      If you are having difficulty using the manual method, then please try the first method. It is easier to add Google Search with the help of a plugin. If you need to do it manually, then please let us know which part isn’t clear and we will try to explain it here.

  32. Eric Kazda

    Can somebody tell me why this is a more beneficial search than using the standard WordPress search form? Are there SEO implications? I’m just not sure why anyone would use this over the standard search.

    • Adam Connell

      I generally find that whenever I search a website for a topic, and it’s using WordPress default search – I’ll get VERY poor results.

      They’ll lack relevance.

      By using Google’s custom search, you won’t get any SEO benefits but your readers will find it easier to get what they’re looking for.

  33. Priti

    In ”Search by Google” how to we specify the our google search id ? In widget don’t we have to keep the google search engine id?

    Hello, and thank you for creating this post and video. I really found it to be helpful in terms of providing better search results for my site WarCraft Press.

    I would however say that you should have pointed out at the beginning of the lesson there are 2 ways to accomplish this task. I did it once with out the plugin then later realized there was a plugin for it.

    That said thanks again for a great lesson and I certainly look forward to future lessons!

    Howdy,
    I have seen you recommend editing wp files and wp theme template files like you have in this article for the searchform.php file.

    My concern is when there is a theme update or wordpress update wouldnt the changes to the searchform.php suggested here be lost after for example a theme update?

    Happy trails, Mike

  48. Chris

    Hi, I went through these steps exactly for my Wordpress site, but the search box doesn’t appear anywhere. There are no .js errors in the console. I put a border around the containing div and the border appears, but there’s nothing inside it. I pasted the code I generated from Google inside searchform.php. As a test I also tried pasting the google code on a test page, but still no luck.

    Any ideas on troubleshooting?
