Adding Google Search to a Public Libraries Site
The form below searches the LTS Web Site
using Google.
Results are displayed without third party ads, with the Libraries header and footer.
To see how it was created, simply look at the source code:
<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/u/csulibraries">
<input type="hidden" name="hq" value="inurl:lib.colostate.edu/lts/">
<input type="text" name="q" size="30" maxlength="255" value="" title="Search LTS Web Site using Google">
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" title="Search LTS Web Site using Google">
</form>
To search within one or more collections or subsites, simply add the following line:
<input type="hidden" name="hq" value="inurl:Your Collection URL goes here" />
e.g.
<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/u/csulibraries">
<input type="hidden" name="hq" value="inurl:lib.colostate.edu/lts/">
<input type="text" name="q" size="30" maxlength="255" value="" title="Search LTS Web Site using Google">
<input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" title="Search LTS Web Site using Google">
<input type="hidden" name="searchsite" value="http://lib.colostate.edu/*" />
<input type="hidden" name="hq" value="mycollection+OR+othercollection" />
</form>
