GCSE Modes

There are three modes to display the Google custom search engine.

Offcanvas

As the featured image shown, the search page will be displayed in the offcanvas on the right. To enable this, you’ll need to specify the layout parameter as offcanvas.

Single Page

If the layout is not set, the module will look for the single search page, and this module ships with two layouts for generating GCSE pages:

  • gcse: embed GCSE into your site with current layouts and styles.
  • gcse-standalone: standalone page without site’s layouts and styles.

To create the GCSE page, you’ll need to specify the layout as one of gcse and gcse-standalone on front matter, take content/search/_index.md for example.

Google Hosted

This mode opens a new tab navigate to the Google hosted page when clicking the search button.
