Tombo> sorry for the hostility. Your site was the only one that even remotely discussed the process. After a log Googling session, I finally came across your site, then your instructions were difficult to follow and I was very frustrated…

Thank you for updating the site and providing the code. It worked perfectly, with one minor alteration: There’s no ‘/’ after ’search’ in the Google url. It should be: http://www.google.com/search?q=“+Request

Thanks again and sorry for the emotive…

For the people still looking for the full code in searchgoogle.aspx. Here it is:

< %@Page Language="C#"%>
< % Response.Redirect("http://www.google.com/search/?q="+Request["k"],true); %>

Well, instead of describing how easy it is, how about some detailed instructions, eg:
1. Make a copy of ..searchresults.aspx. Call it googleresults.aspx
2. Open googleresults.aspx in notepad and replace its contents with the following javascript block:…
3. Create a new search scope and point it to googleresults.aspx

Telling everyone how easy it is to do, does nothing more than massage your own ego…

Where did you upload it? You have to upload it to the master page catalog library. You can find this library on following location: http://ROOTOFSITECOLLECTION/_catalogs/masterpage/

Good luck!

Wow! That’s really sweet! Hey- real fast I made a .master file and uploaded it to my work’s new intranet. My supervisor can’t see it even though it’s published. She can see different premade ones- just not this one- any advice?

Guarev,

In your code you are redirecting to a google url. As you placed the url in your code (probably in a string), you can replace your keyword (in this case “ENTER+A+WORD”, this can be whatever you want, you can even dynamically build the url to redirect to) with the k variale. After that, it’s just redirecting your page to the new url you created!

Good Luck!

Hi,
I am trying to do exactly what you have mentioned in this blog. But the problem is I can’t somehow replace content of q variable with the k variable. Would you be kind enough to explain this in bit more detail.
Thanks,
Gaurav
