In this Module, I decided to add a Google Programmable Search Bar to my menu.
This proved to be a little bit more challenging than anticipated. Got it embedded in my Bootstrap menu after a little tweaking of the
supplied embedding code, however still working on getting local results. Created a sitemap and registered it but not sure if Google
is indexing my site yet.
As far as this module goes, the search bar was chosen because of the unlimited access it provides to information. Quite often it
seems the need to open a new tab/window arises to perform a search, so this seemed a convenient addition to my site. Once my site is
properly indexed with Google the search engine is configured to return local site results first before web results. This also seems
like a handy feature as my site gradually grows.
This tool is not quite as intuitive as some of the others to implement if like me you're not a very technical person. Believe it is
more designed for web developers and webmasters though can be used on a basic level as i've done here. Can always learn more later about
customizing and usage after it is installed. There does seem to be a wide variety of customizability options available.
