Google AJAX Related Search Plugin for WordPress

WordPress SEO Updated: January 29, 2022 by Sravan K

A few days back I found some time to experiment with some interesting stuff on Ajax. So, I searched for some APIs, Code Snippets, and thought why not start using APIs of Google AJAX Search. I had a look on Google AJAX Search recently and was just going through the Google AJAX Search APIs ( http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/) in deep and thought to build something new with the code available.

Being a big FAN of WordPress.org I thought to create a plugin with a different concept, something different from the general widgets available. So started exploring the Google AJAX Search APIs and did some few experiments on sample pages, customizing the same, going through the APIs document provided, and playing with the customized options provided.

Whenever I thought to write an article on some topic, first I use to search in Google for related topics for more info or whether somebody has already written some article on the same topic or not and even I use to search for the related images, videos or blogs to know more about the same.

In the process, i figured that there were a few articles that were always incomplete. Also, due to the incomplete nature of the content, I felt or needed more information than what was provided in them.
So,I thought why not give an option to my blog readers to go around the web for the same topic to know more about that particular article/topic. Sounds Cool right :)??

After giving it a long thought and in-depth experimenting :) I thought to come up with this Google AJAX “Related” Topic Search and named the widget as “Google AJAX Related Search” Version 1.0. The first WordPress plugin/widget from the WittySparks.com team. We are excited to release this cool, handy, and useful plugin – isn’t so?

You can even have a look at the live plugin/widget in our WittySparks.com website in every article page at the sleek sidebar below the “Post Info” pannel the one with the tab-based interface.

Looks great and wanna try it? If so here are the steps to start with:

Plugin Requirements:

  1. Of course, you need your own WordPress site :)
  2. Google AJAX Search API Key
  3. Looking for more? Sorry, that’s it you need :)

and here are the steps to install this Google AJAX Related Search V 1.0 plugin

  5. You can place the widget not only in the sidebars but you can also have it at any place where you place the widget function <?php custom_search_ws(); ?> or use the Sidebar widget controller and drag and drop the Google AJAX Related Search :).
