RapidSearch

The original search addon for RapidWeaver. First developed way-back in 2007, RapidSearch is the easiest way of adding a Google® custom search engine (CSE) to any RapidWeaver website big or small. No techie stuff like PHP, MySQL databases or complicated software installs are required. No ugly iFrames or messy code to ruin your website appearance. No monthly or yearly subscription fees. Just everything you need in a single drag-and-drop stack.

To Use

Simply register a new custom search with Google® (the easy-to-follow instructions are shown below), drop a RapidSearch stack into your page, fill-in the required details and publish. Seriously, that's all there is to do!

RapidSearch uses the full power of the Google search engine. Each time Google indexes your website, it updates the search results automatically. So this is very-much a search solution you can setup once and forget about.

Unlike some other search plugins for RapidWeaver, RapidSearch works over your entire website; including blogs, e-commerce pages, file downloads and albums. You can configure RapidSearch to search up-to 5 separate websites or subdomains from within the same stack. RapidSearch provides safe search filters for both web and image searches. Anything you've password protected will remain strictly hidden.

RapidSearch is responsive and works in all major web browsers and devices. Plus you can be assured of this stack working reliably in all popular RapidWeaver themes and with different frameworks like Bootstrap, Zurb Foundation and UIKit. Backed by fast and friendly support direct from the developer.

Tip:
If you like the idea of using search results from a commercial search engine, but feel uneasy about using Google, take a look at the DuckSearch stack instead, which uses the popular DuckDuckGo search engine. Alternatively if you prefer to keep all your website search functionality "in house", take a look at our SimpleSearch or Indexer stacks.

Note: Google may present several ads before its search results when using the RapidSearch Stack, as follows:

The dialog box can't be styled as much as with the RapidSearch Stack.
