**New Feature** Google Sitelinks Search Box Integration
November 5th, 2014 at 1:57 pm   starstarstarstarstar      

Hello WebsiteForge users,

 

We've integrated a new feature called: "Sitelinks Search Box"

With Google sitelinks search box, people can reach your content more quickly from search results. Search users sometimes use navigational queries—typing in the brand name or URL of a known site—only to do a more detailed query once on that site. For example, suppose someone wants to find that video about the guilty dog on YouTube. They type YouTube, or you-tube, or youtube.com into Google Search, follow the link to YouTube, and then actually search for the dog video.

The sitelinks search box removes that extra step: a query for youtube displays a site-specific search box in the sitelinks section, so the user can immediately search for that guilty dog video without having to click through to the site.

 

 

 

You can enable this feature in your "Full Text Search Settings" area.

 

Feel free to contact support if you need assistance setting this up.

Awesome new feature! I can't wait to add this to my site. :)

I read that Google does take some time to index the site once you add it.  I hope Google can work quick for me.

Excellent...however, for me the only page I can add to the site links page is my 404 default page, not all?

@Steven the entire site will be scanned by Google.  Only 1 page is needed to display results.  And I'm guessing your 404 page has the "Full Text Search Results" frame in it.  That is why that page is the only option.  You can create another page if you like, it just needs the full text search results frame. :)  Feel free to come to support and ask us how to add this if you need assistance with it :) http://ticket.websiteforge.com
