You can integrate Google Search into your WebHelp Responsive output.
To enable your WebHelp system to use Google Search, follow these steps:
-
Go to the Google Custom Search Engine page using your Google account.
-
Press the Create a custom search engine button.
-
Follow the on-screen instructions to create a search engine for your site. At the end
of this process you should obtain a code snippet.
A Google Search script looks like
this:
<script>
(function() {
var cx =
'000888210889775888983:8mn4x_mf-yg';
var gcse = document.createElement('script');
gcse.type = 'text/javascript';
gcse.async = true;
gcse.src = (document.location.protocol == 'https:' ?
'https:' : 'http:') + '//www.google.com/cse/cse.js?cx=' + cx;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s);
}
)();
</script>
-
Save the script into a well-formed HTML file called
googlecse.html.
-
In Oxygen XML Editor, click the
Configure Transformation
Scenario(s) action from the toolbar
(or the menu.
-
Select an existing WebHelp Responsive transformation scenario (depending on your needs,
it may be with or without feedback) and click the Duplicate button
to open the Edit Scenario dialog box.
-
Switch to the Parameters tab and edit the
webhelp.google.search.script parameter to reference the
googlecse.html file that you created earlier.
-
You can also use the
webhelp.google.search.results parameter to choose
where to display the search results.
-
Create an HTML file with the following content:
<div
class="gcse-searchresults-only" data-autoSearchOnLoad="true"
data-queryParameterName-"searchQuery"></div> (you must use the HTML5 version for the GCSE). For more information about
other supported attributes, see Google Custom Search: Supported
Attributes.
-
Set the value of the
webhelp.google.search.results parameter to
the file path of the file you just created. If this parameter is not specified, the
following code is used: <div class="gcse-searchresults-only"
data-autoSearchOnLoad="true"
data-queryParameterName="searchQuery"></div>.
-
Click Ok.
-
Run the transformation scenario.
