Implementing google custom search in angularjs - angularjs

Question

I am trying to implement google custom search in an angular js website.
When I click on the search button it does not display me anything, but the url is updated to the url.
I have followed the steps mentioned in the documentation by google.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong?
My search bar is located on the home page as -
<gcse:searchbox-only enableAutoComplete="true" resultsUrl="#/searchresult" lr="lang_en" queryParameterName="search"></gcse:searchbox-only>
my search result has -
<gcse:searchresults-only lr="lang_en"></gcse:searchresults-only>
Any input is much appreciated.
Thanks,

Answer 1

You may have more than one problem happening at the same time...
1. Query Parameter mismatch
Your searchresults-only does not match the queryParameterName specified on gcse:searchbox-only.
Index.html
<gcse:searchresults-only queryParameterName="search"></gcse:searchresults-only>
Search.html
<gcse:searchresults-only queryParameterName="search"></gcse:searchresults-only>
2. Angular.js is blocking the flow of Google CSE
Under normal circumstances, Google Search Element will trigger an HTTP GET with the search parameter. However, since you are dealing with a one-page application, you may not see the query parameter. If that suspicion is true when you target resultsUrl="#/searchresult", then you have two options:
Force a HTTP GET on resultsUrl="http://YOURWEBSITE/searchresult". You may have to match routes, or something along those lines in order to catch the REST request (Ember.js is really easy to do so, but I haven't done in Angular.js yet.)
Use JQuery alongside Angular.js to get the input from the user on Index.html and manually trigger a search on search.html. How would you do it? For the index.html you would do something like below and for the results you would implement something like I answered in another post.
Index.html
<div>GSC SEARCH BUTTON HOOK: <strong><div id="search_button_hook">NOT ACTIVATED.</div></strong></div>
<div>GSC SEARCH TEXT: <strong><div id="search_text_hook"></div></strong></div>
<gcse:search ></gcse:search>
Index.js
//Hook a callback into the rendered Google Search. From my understanding, this is possible because the outermost rendered div has id of "___gcse_0".
window.__gcse = {
callback: googleCSELoaded
};
//When it renders, their initial customized function cseLoaded() is triggered which adds more hooks. I added comments to what each one does:
function googleCSELoaded() {
$(".gsc-search-button").click(function() {
$("#search_button_hook").text('HOOK ACTIVATED');
});
$("#gsc-i-id1").keydown(function(e) {
if (e.which == 13) {
$("#enter_keyboard_hook").text('HOOK ACTIVATED');
}
else{
$("#search_text_hook").text($("#gsc-i-id1").val());
}
});
}
(function() {
var cx = '001386805071419863133:cb1vfab8b4y';
var gcse = document.createElement('script');
gcse.type = 'text/javascript';
gcse.async = true;
gcse.src = 'https://cse.google.com/cse.js?cx=' + cx;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s);
})();
I have a live version of the index.html code, but I don't make promises that will be permanently live since it is hosted in my NDSU FTP.
