When I put the Google CSE html code into my site the look of the search bar is wrong. But worse than that is that it isn't showing the expected results.


For example if I search portrait it should find this page yet it only brings up results that are unrelated in anyway.

What do I need to know to make the Search bar work well with RSD

Did you customize your search engine by adding all of your pages?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

So I put every page into the Google CSE and it cause it to turn up a like two more results but it seems to only be grabbing results from my menu that is on every page. For ex. if I type "portrait" it will bring up 5 results that show the menu item "Portrait" bolded implying that that is what caused the link to be selected by the search engine. Even this seems off though because all 20 or so of my pages have the same menu item so theoretically if that was what the search engine was tagging it should bring up every page.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
