Hello,

I am making an application in which the user will search a term which will get the results from google search engine. Thats quite easy. But what i want is that when the user will click on the result he will go to the site but from my page like.

The search result is:

Google (this goes to http://google.com)
Enables users to search the Web, Usenet, and images. Features include PageRank, caching and translation of results, and an option to find similar pages.
www.google.com/ - Cached - Similar

What i want is:
Google (this should go to http://site.com/mypage.php?site=google.com)
Enables users to search the Web, Usenet, and images. Features include PageRank, caching and translation of results, and an option to find similar pages.
www.google.com/ - Cached - Similar

This is easily possibile by using Google SOAP API.

echo "<td><span class='list'>".($i+$begin).".</span> <a href='http://site.com/mypage.pgp?site=$url' class='link'>$title</a><br><span class='gray_small'>$snippet</span><br><a href='$url' class='link_small'>$url</a></td></tr>\n";

But unfortunately it is not available anymore.

I am not sure how this will be done using Google AJAX API which is used now a day's...

Please tell me what should i do?

Thanks and Regards

Try this:

<script language='javascript'>

var ggl_websearch = null;

function searchComplete() {

// Check whether we got the result or not
if (ggl_websearch.results && ggl_websearch.results.length > 0) {

var contentDiv = document.getElementById('searchContent');
contentDiv.innerHTML = '';

// Loop through the results
for (var i = 0; i < ggl_websearch.results.length; i++) {
var result = ggl_websearch.results;
var row = document.createElement('div');

var title_link = document.createElement('a');
// Add your link here
title_link.href = <?php echo "http://www.yourdomain.com/urllog_page.php?surl=" ?> + result.url;
title_link.innerHTML = result.titleNoFormatting;

var separator = document.createElement('br');

var search_content = document.createElement('p');
search_content.innerHTML = result.content;

row.appendChild(title_link);
row.appendChild(search_content);

contentDiv.appendChild(row);
}
}
}

function OnLoad() {
ggl_websearch = new google.search.WebSearch();

// set the callback method in order to change the link of the result...
ggl_websearch .setSearchCompleteCallback(this, searchComplete, null);

// you can change the keywords based on the user input...
ggl_websearch.execute('web programming');
}

google.setOnLoadCallback(OnLoad);

</script>

<div id="searchContent">

</div>

not sure what is missing in your code, but in case you want to use google API again, i'll just give you the complete simple code, the rest of the customize functionality, you can find it in google API documentation. Before you use this API, you have to sign up for API key at http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/signup.html

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=YOUR_API_KEY" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
google.load('search', '1');

var ggl_websearch = null;

function searchComplete() {
// Check whether we got the result or not
if (ggl_websearch.results && ggl_websearch.results.length > 0) {
var contentDiv = document.getElementById('searchContent');
contentDiv.innerHTML = '';

// Loop through the results
for (var i = 0; i < ggl_websearch.results.length; i++) {
var result = ggl_websearch.results;
var row = document.createElement('div');

var title_link = document.createElement('a');
// Add your link here
title_link.href = '<?php echo "http://www.yourdomain.com/urllog_page.php?surl=" ?>' + result.url;
title_link.innerHTML = result.titleNoFormatting;

var separator = document.createElement('br');

var search_content = document.createElement('p');
search_content.innerHTML = result.content;

row.appendChild(title_link);
row.appendChild(search_content);

contentDiv.appendChild(row);
}
}
}

function searchMe() {
var clue = document.getElementById('searchBox').value;
if (clue != '') {
ggl_websearch = new google.search.WebSearch();
ggl_websearch.setResultSetSize(google.search.Search.LARGE_RESULTSET);
// set the callback method in order to change the link of the result...
ggl_websearch .setSearchCompleteCallback(this, searchComplete, null);
// you can change the keywords based on the user input...
ggl_websearch.execute(clue);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="control">
<input id="searchBox" type="text" value="" /><input type="button" value="Search" onclick="javascript:searchMe();">
</div>
<br /><br /><br />
<div id="searchContent"></div>
</body>
</html>
