Jekyll::GoogleCse

Add Google Custom Search Engine to your Jekyll site.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'jekyll-google_cse'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll-google_cse

Usage

Add the necessary configuration to to _config.yml. Start by adding jekyll-google_cse to the list of gems for Jekyll to install:

gems:
  - jekyll-google_cse

Next configure your site to use your "Search engine ID", which will be on the "Basics" page when you are configuring your custom search engine. In your Jekyll _config.yml, add your search engine ID:

google_cse_id: "000000000000000000000:fffffffffff" # Use your search engine ID

Then add the following tag after the following line where you'd like the Google Custom Search Engine to be show:

{% google_cse %}

If you're not sure where to place the search engine, I'd recommend putting it in _layouts/default.html inside the page-content block:

<div class="page-content">
  <div class="wrapper">
    {% google_cse %}
    {{ content }}
  </div>
</div>

Doing this will make the search engine appear at the top of every page.

If you have multiple environments, you may only want to have the Google Custom Search Engine appear in a specific environment. Here's an example of how to only use the Google Custom Search Engine in your production environment:

{% if jekyll.environment == "production" %}{% google_cse %}{% endif %}

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
