Possibility of Open Search URL for Low Google Search?

Hendrik-Jan Francke 30 Oct 2013 14:58 idea, pending

Your Google Search add on works so very well. Is it possible to trigger a search from a non EE page? Much like Low Search supports that with the Open Search URL?

    Not possible at the moment, but I'll mark it as a Feature Request.

    Thanks. I found that if I set the security setting 'Process form data in Secure Mode' to no, the search results page accepts the search queries from non-ee pages. Waiting to see if bots cause trouble with our other forms.

    If you're using EE2.7+, you could also turn that feature back on, and change the 'csrf_exempt' column to 1 for class 'Low_googlesearch' and method 'redirect_to_results'. That'll keep the rest of your forms secure, while allowing POSTs from other sites for the Low GoogleSearch form.
