  I absolutely love this script.
  
  If I were to find the place to enter my CSE adchannel, which file should I navigate to?
  
  Suggestion, no support needed: If you wanted to take this script to the next level, allowing users to create an account and have individual settings applied to users based on role would be amazing.
  
  For instance, I'd love to implement an "ad free" user role and make certain users who donate to me on Patreon or BuyMeaCoffee or even a Stripe integration get every engine set to OFF for "Display Search Ads".

  Hello, glad knowing you're enjoying the script.
  
  If you meant how can you integrate "Adsense for Search" with the script. Then for that you'd need to create your own CSEs from the Adsense dashboard.
  
  Once you create your CSE from the Adsense Dashboard. You can follow the docs to see how you can get the IDs from:
  https://cse.google.com
  
  And then Add or replace them via Dashboard > Engines.
  
  
  Thanks for your suggestion. I will keep them in mind. I'm a student and I do this in my free time, I'll try to implement them for my next update. Thanks again.

  In the CSE code, you can specify data-adchannel which just helps Adsense distinguish between different engines you have running essentially. I figured it out because I have a little bit of PHP in me

  Oh, I thought you were referring to the Adsense for CSE creation procedure, my bad.
  
  Glad that you worked it out though

  You need to link your custom CSE to Adsense first. Then create a CSE from the Adsense Dashboard. Then if you're CSE is approved, the ads would be shown. And that is even for certain keywords only. The revenue share is very little for Google CSE, so I'd not recommend doing it. The option is there just for fulfilment.

  Hello,
  
  I'm getting the message "Sessions must be started to use CSRFGuard!" when accessing the dashboard page after installation. Can't seem to figure this out. Could you point me in the direction?
•

  Sessions aren't starting on your server.
  
  - Make sure sessions are enabled on your server
  - Make sure this directory: "src/var/sessions" exist and is writable
  - Make sure your script has read/write permissions

  To check what's causing the error, open the file:
  src/constants.php
  
  and set the constant DEV_MODE to true, like this:
  
  define('DEV_MODE', true);
  
  Alternatively you can check the log files from here: src/var/logs/. And solve the issue according to the error message. If you still can't figure out the issue or resolve it, please do let me know.

  That's because your file manager ignored the .htaccess file, it can happen because cPanel filemanager by default has the option "Show hidden (dotfiles)" disabled. So, always make sure the .htaccess file is present at the root of the files (where index.php file is present). To solve this you can also visit https://yoursite.com/debug.php and it will attempt to regenerate the .htaccess file.

  You don't need to change anything. What's your site URL? Where you have uploaded the script.
  
  Just visit:

  It seems like your server isn't giving write permission. Thus you'd need to upload the .htaccess file manually.
  
  See the screenshot:
  https://prnt.sc/y9eyvv
  
  Make sure this ".htaccess" file exists where you have uploaded the script. If it exists and you're still getting the 404 error. Then delete the existing .htaccess file and replace it with the ".htaccess" file that is in the "Main Files" folder of the script archive.

  Is your server Apache? This script requires an Apache server with .htaccess support to run.
  
  If it is, private message me the cPanel credentials and I'll take a look.

  Hello, I have some questions before buying it.
  1. Can I customize search results only from some specific websites? For example, when the user searches for keyword1, I want to show the result only from A, B, C, D (chosen websites by me) websites, not from the whole internet.
  2. for 20K unique users/daily, what server, VPS, or shared hosting do I need to run the script?
  Thank you,
• 
  Feb 3, 2021
  MirazMacStudios Author

  1. Yes, you can do that, in that case you would need to create your own CSE and then replace the default engines with that. The script has this documented.
  
  2. Since the script doesn't perform any heavy operations, except the real-time search suggestions, any standard VPS would be fine. Then again, you should run this query to a web hosting expert, as that's not my specific section of expertise.

  While, there's no free API for related searches yet. I'm trying to find one that's cheap and accurate. As soon as I find one, I'll implement the feature.
  
  Thanks

  I am facing error while importing DB into MySQL, my server is running Plesk, the error says -
  #1071 - Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes
• 
  Jan 8, 2021
  MirazMacStudios Author

  767 bytes is the stated prefix limitation for InnoDB tables in MySQL version 5.6 (and prior versions). Your MySQL version is or lower than 5.6, the script requires MySQL version newer than 5.6.

  Hey, is the script customisable if we wanted down the line and is there are way of adding maps etc to the script?
  
  Do you also have a plan for Chrome and Firefox extensions etc?
• View 20 more replies
• 
  Jan 6, 2021
  MirazMacStudios Author

  Yes, the script has separated view files that you can edit and customize. No code is encrypted. Every byte of it is open.
  
  Sorry but Maps couldn't be added here due to the limitation of the Google CSE API. The only possible types are web and images. The rest of the categories are aliases of these two types with different logic and layout. So, stuff like maps isn't possible.
  
  I don't have plans for such extensions since I can't develop those. But it won't be hard for you to hire someone to build it for you that would just point to the search endpoint of the script.

  Also on the home page above the logo, how do you get rid of the word Web?
•

  MirazMacStudios Author

  The videos, news are actually CSEs with sites set to them in the "Sites to search".
  
  For example for the Video CSE, the sites are:
  youtube.com
  vimeo.com
  dailymotion.com
  
  etc.
  
  For the news sites like bbc, nytimes etc.

  Got you with that, thank you, what about the CSE's sites to search, there are only 5 available which is okay for video but for news that might limit the results. Any thoughts?
• 
  Jan 7, 2021
  MirazMacStudios Author

  Well you almost add any amount of sites to search. It's upto you to add how many you want. A quick Google search can return the list of top news sites across the world. I tried to add as many I could but if you're not satisfied with that you'd need to make a list by yourself. And that's just it

  Another question, how do I set it so you have the image filter etc?
  
• 
  Jan 7, 2021
  MirazMacStudios Author

  Sorry but the Google CSE doesn't offer filtering like that. Their JSON API do, but it's very costly 5$ per 1k queries. That's why I implemented this in the free CSE API that runs on the client side and has no query limitations.

  I see, will you develop things that extend further in the future to allow for people to run even more competitive search engines? I have to say you are amazing, you reply so quick to enquiries. Best service I have found ever.
• 
  Jan 7, 2021
  MirazMacStudios Author

  I have no plans at the moment. But PHP backed with MySQL isn't a very good choice for self hosted search engines.
  
  Now, if considering using third party APIs, they all are very costly.
  - The only "big" search engine that offers direct access to their actual search results is Bing. But given their quality of results it's not worth the cost.
  - While Google has their Custom Search JSON API that is literally the server side version of the one this script uses with paid subscription.
  
  So, given all this, I'm quite unsure about developing another search based script.
  
  
  Glad to hear you like my service. I'm a solo person doing this. Consider leaving a review, it really gives me a boost in this tough times.
  
  Stay safe.

  Hey, I'll leave a review in a minute and I understand your above comments, it does make sense. It's not worth it unless you most certainly have the usership I guess and money is coming in.
  
  I'd be interested in hearing anything you do have planned for this script though, it's a very good looking and speedy one and I'm genuinely really pleased.

  Before publishing this for sale, I made an entire list what can be done with this script, and I implemented almost all of them, and some I didn't because they didn't fit in. That being said, I did everything that is doable with the Google CSE JS API. And regarding the UI I also added dark mode and RTL support in the very last moment, just because I thought some people may ask for this. And the user-preferences, backgrounds the customization options in the dashboard as well. From my POV I've done everything I wanted to do in this item.
  
  So, if this item gets an average customer base, I will continue adding more features into it. But don't worry the item will always receive security patches and bug fixes.

  No, sorry. I'm the only person doing this, I am also a student. The reason that I don't work on freelancing marketplaces because I don't have the time to do so. That's why I work on readymade scripts on free time and sell them on marketplaces. But I can always provide support for the item, I will try my best to do so.

  No, the script is simply a search engine. What you see is what you get. There's no hidden features or any other stuff.
