The Jetkey Google AJAX Search Module for DotNetNuke 3.x and 4.x allows you to perform six types of Google searches directly within your DotNetNuke web pages using AJAX technology. Search results are dynamically displayed within your web pages without postbacks.
The six search types that are currently available are:
- Web Search
- News Search
- Video Search
- Blog Search
- Local Search
- Book Search
You can perform all six search types at once. Or you can perform a single search type, such as a web search, disabling all other types. Or you can choose any combination of two, three, four, five or six types in one search. The settings give you considerable control over these features.
Site Restriction
You can restrict web searches to any website of your choice, including your own. By restricting web searches to your own website, you can now have the Google search engine powering your website searches instead of, or in addition to, the default DNN search engine. The Jetkey Google AJAX Search control is easily wired to the portal search box enabling Google searches of your website from any web page.
You can also restict Blog searches and News searches to your favorite sites. News searches, for example, can be restricted to "CNN" or "Fox News" or "The Washington Post", etc. News results are only returned from the news site that you specify by name. If you provide no site restrictions, Google will give you it's top results.
Search Results Module
This product comes with two separate modules: the Search module and the Results module. The search module is capable of both searching and displaying results within the same module. The Results module, in case you want to use it, allows you to project search results into different areas of your web page, as this example demonstrates.
