I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction.
I want my Muse website visitors to be able to search a text list in order to find a specific hyperlink.
Simple (I hope) - text entered in a box will return the appropriate URL
(Cannot post examples)
I just cannot find a way of doing this in muse.
Nor can I find a widget to do it
Thanks

When my website is Googled, I want a search bar for the site to appear in the results, like this:
To be clear, I'm referring to the search bar with the placeholder text "Results from stackoverflow.com", right above the "Careers" and "Java" links.
The results for my website have an identical layout, except that there is no search bar.
How can I achieve a search bar in the results?
**I'm not sure this can be accomplished through altering my source code, so this question may not even belong on StackOverflow. If that is the case, feel free to migrate the question to whichever SE site in which it belongs.
I don't have enough rep to put this in a comment, but i would just like to post this.
Quoting the blog post from google:
How can I mark up my site?
You need to have a working site-specific search engine for your site. If you already have one, you can let us know by marking up your homepage as a schema.org/WebSite entity with the potentialAction property of the schema.org/SearchAction markup. You can use JSON-LD, microdata, or RDFa to do this; check out the full implementation details on our developer site.
If you implement the markup on your site, users will have the ability to jump directly from the sitelinks search box to your site’s search results page. If we don’t find any markup, we’ll show them a Google search results page for the corresponding site: query, as we’ve done until now.
As always, if you have questions, feel free to ask in our Webmaster Help forum.
Currently Google displays elements in the result excerpts that belongs to the functional part of the site. Is there a way to exclude these elements to get crawled/displayed in google?
Like eEdit, eDelete, etc in the example above.
To exclude the pages from Google's index, block them using the Robots.txt file or if it is just the content then use the "rel="nofollow" tag.
Hope this helps.
Update on my particular situation here: I just found out that the frontend code has been generated in a way where the title and the description meta was identical.
Google is smart enough to expect that if a copy is already displayed in the title of the search result there's no reason to add in to the excerpt as well, instead looks for content - believed to be valuable - from the actual page.
Lessons learned:
there's no way to hide elements from google but keep it visible for your users
if you'd like to have control over the content displayed in google searches, avoid using the same copy in your title and description
I am working on Joomla 3.2 with Roksprocket right now, which is a module that can display all articles in category X in "mosaic" form. So you have blocks of intro articles instead of a list.
I was wondering if anyone knows how to display search results in "mosaic" form, or if I can somehow make the search results display one module at a time via Roksprocket.
Any pointers will help!
thanks,

This is my first post here, sorry if I am doing it wrong. I've already searched for my question and could not find it.
I run a video meta-search engine.
I was recently banned from Google Adsense for having pages that contained 'adult content' and 'adult keywords'.
I would like to know how to ban the search of words like 'sex' on my site. Thanks.
In your code, when they click search, or press enter, the "method" that is called should just search the string for those keywords. If it has one that's blocked, don't let it display the results. One note is that there are many videos that are adult, but don't have a name that would reflect it. You may consider filtering the results by there content rating.
Would like to garner opinions. We've created a website for a gay members club and they wanted the default landing page to mysterious with little information on it.
As such the Default.aspx only contains a form asking for some personal details. Users can click a button to skip this content and go to an AboutUs page.
The problem is, because we cannot control what information Google uses for the site description in search results, it is picking up the forms fields - which obviously do not makes sense as a description.
I think there are two options to counter this:
Use Robots.txt to block access to Default.aspx and only allow access to AboutUs.aspx
Write a description and title in a H1 tag but make the text colour the same as the background colour
Could I get opinions which method people will think is best for search results?
Thanks.
I would not block or try and deceive Google.
Make sure the title tag for the page is good and descriptive. Around 70 characters to explain what the website is about.
Same goes for your meta description. About two sentences to continue on from the title information.
