Instead of the [[plugins/search]] plugin you could embed [Google Custom Search](http://www.google.com/cse) for site search functionality.

**Unfortunately** you need [[plugins/rawhtml]] enabled.

Once you've created your "custom search engine", just drop in the search box html like I've done in my [Debian tips and tricks](http://dabase.com/tips/) [source](http://git.webconverger.org/?p=faq.git;a=blob;f=tips.mdwn).

If you have odd "save failed" error messages in Google's CSE's control panel, try `/usr/lib/WebKit/GtkLauncher` from [webkit](http://packages.qa.debian.org/w/webkit.html).


# Alternatively

You could use the [[Google_plugin|plugins/google]] from version 2.67.
Add [[!meta date]] to news items and tips The git checkout and build process can leave the checkout date in the tarball release, leading to unstable sorting. I tried to use `git restore-mtime`, but that doesn't work for ikiwiki, because dgit interferes with it. 2015-06-09 11:50:00 +02:00			`[[!meta date="2008-10-18 09:21:24 -0400"]]`
