Integrating Google Search Into Your Wordpress Theme

By Kabitzin | Published: May 8, 2009
As I’m sure most of you know, the Wordpress search function is terrible; hell, even the developers know that WP search sucks. WP search returns results in reverse date order (rather than in order of relevancy), and it has a lot of trouble with phrases. After seeing Hung give it a spin at [...]
