#### Google Custom Search Engine
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Add a Google search box to your site.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Create a **New search engine** in [Google Custom Search Engine](https://cse.google.com/cse/all), give it an appropriate name and setup "Sites to search" to your liking.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Under **Look and feel** choose the "Results only" layout and a theme (*Minimalist* is a good choice to match the default look of the Minimal Mistakes).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![Google Custom Search Engine layout]({{ '/assets/images/google-custom-search-engine-layout.png' | relative_url }})
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Select "Save & Get Code" and grab your search engine ID from the line that begins with `var cx = 'YOUR_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID'`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Add your search engine ID to `_config.yml` like so:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
google:
|
||||||
|
search_engine_id: YOUR_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Note:** If your site is new and hasn't been indexed by Google yet, search will be incomplete and won't provide accurate results.
