To add Personal Site Search to your page, you'll first tell us that you're ready to index your pages (prepare them for searching) by activating site search, then copy and paste some code into a page of your site.
- Go to the Create & Update tab of your Web Hosting Control Panel and click the "Add-Ons" link.
- Choose "Personal Site Search."
- In step 1, click the "Activate Indexing" button to prepare your pages for searching.
- Click the "Select Code" button in step 2 to highlight the HTML code that will be used to display your search box.
- Copy the code by holding down the CTRL and C buttons (Apple and C for Mac users), or choose "Copy" from the Edit menu of your browser.
- Once you have copied the HTML code, you can add it to the web page in which you'd like to place the search box to appear. Click the "Open File Manager" button to open your File Manager, which you can use to add the code.
- Locate the name of the page (mypage.html, for example) to which you want to add the search box.
- Click the "Edit" icon next to the page name.
- Paste the code in the part of the page in which you'd like to display the search box.
- Click the "Save" button to save your changes.

Please note that Personal Site Search will function only on active web sites. The search will also not index password-protected pages.
You may also need to wait after adding Personal Site Search to your site for your search results to be displayed. Changes to your site will not appear in your search results until the next time your site is indexed, which can take days or weeks, depending on how quickly search engines review your site.
