How to perfectly Integrate Google Custom Search in your Wordpress blog
I wanted to replace the default Wordpress search with Google Custom Search because replacing the WordPress’s default search feature with Google Search allows you to use the years of search experience and power of Google. Besides, it also lets you earn from the sponsored results.
I found this guide on Dosh Dosh but it is quite basic and doesn’t have all the details that are required to integrate Google Custom Search to your Wordpress blog properly, I will tell you the proper way to integrate Google Custom Search with your Wordpress Blog like I did mine (you can try it from top right search box)
First you need to create a WordPress page where your search results will show, to do that go to your Wordpress dashboard and then go to write–>Page
Exciting new feature added to Google search
Google Search keeps on getting better and better and this time the Google team has added a cool feature to Google search which shows suggestions in the drop down box as you type in real time.
To try it out Open Google.com and type few letters and you will see suggestions related to your typed query in the drop down box, if you cant decide the right keywords to search for or if you don’t know the correct spelling of what you are looking for then this comes handy and this also saves you a bit of typing, the suggestions also show the number of results for that specific keyword in the drop down box.
How to Enable extra compiz fusion effects in Mandriva Linux One Spring 2008
I have always used windows infact ever since I started using computer and honestly I have never been a fan of Linux but Mandriva Linux One has changed my opinion about Linux, it has been called “almost perfect Linux distro” by many and rightly so. It is the easiest to use Linux distro i have ever came across and I have started recommending it to every person that wants to switch to Linux from windows.
Now back to compiz fusion, well enabling compiz fusion effects in Mandriva Linux One was a no brainer and easiest to do compared to other Linux distros like ubuntu, when you are done installing Mandriva Linux one it asks you whether you want to use Metisse (that is the 3d desktop effect manager that comes with Mandriva which doesn’t have all the features that compiz has) , Compiz Fusion or no 3d effect at all, just select compiz fusion or if you missed that you can manually select compiz fusion by clicking on the Configure Your Computer icon in the panel (near the show desktop icon) and goto hardware tab and click on Configure 3D desktop effects under the Configure graphics heading. When Mandriva loads up for the first time you will immediately start seeing compiz fusion effects if you chose it. Mandriva installs CompizConfig by default so that you can configure compiz fusion easily, to access compiz config goto menu–>Tools–>CompizConfig Settings Manager.
Now there is a problem Mandriva by default doesn’t have some cool extra compiz fusion plugins like “3D windows” plugin which presents open windows in 3D way by elevating them from the desktop, “Paint Fire on the screen” plugin allow you to write on your screen with fire text which looks uber cool, “Snow” plugin which shows snow on your desktop and few more.
