This is probably a ignorant question but is there a url that all wordpress hosted sites use?
say if i used the "site: www.example.com" to refine my google search it would limit the search only to sites hosted by wordpress.
and if this isn't possible can you use google custom search to do a normal google search from within your site?
Well the first case is not possible. but if you need your users to use google to search within your site you use one of the many google search plugins, like WP Google Search. They will over ride your custom search system with the one from google.

I have been a WordPress Developer for over 6 years now and finally stuck at one requirement.
One of my client has website that offers multiple IT services (i.e. Mobile Development, Web Development, Data Solutions etc.)
He wants to customize his home page based on the keyword his website was searched for. for Example of any of the user searches for "Mobile Development" in google and gets my clients website link and user clicks that link to visit the site, in that case my client wants to show only Mobile Development Services on home page so visitor looking for mobile development doesn't get anything else.
Same way if some user searched for Web Development in search engine and got my client site, then he will see only Web Development Content and links.
I am not able to get any plugin or method for WordPress that can serve personalize content based on keyword searched on search engine, somewhere i heard that there is extension in joomla that does it. Help me if that is possible.

The closest Joomla extension I can find for what you are asking is Diginix Content Generation which costs US$30.
Keyword Landing Page Generator for US$17 is a similar type of plugin for WordPress.
These extensions tailor the content on the page dynamically based on search keywords. This is the preferred option to redirecting to a different url based on the search keywords which Google refers to as a sneaky redirect.
I want to create a multilingual site and there are translators. I want to create 5 websites in different languages and the same contents and the top pages have different domains. There is a wordpress plugin of translation and flags are displayed on the toppages but if I click on a flag I jump to a subdomain. But I want to jump to another toppage. If I click on a flag on a blog page, I want to jump to a blog page of a different site. How can I do that? Please help me.
I want to make 5 websites because if google find a website with a toppage written in Japanese, google thinks it's a Japanese website and the rank on Japanese google gets higher. Likewise, if google finds a site with a toppage written in French, the rank on French google gets higher.
You could also only use sub-directories (google best practice) and easily create 1 website available in 5 languages with Weglot plugin https://weglot.com/wordpress-integration
I'll suggest you to do the following things...........
1. Install wordpress on 5 domain and connect to single database.and then use translation plugin.
Or,
Buy and use https://wpml.org/. It gives you options to use different domains for every languages.
You have to create your own menu and not rely on the widget from the plugin you are using. The widget provided with your multilingual plugin wil have links like : www.example.com/fr & www.example.com/en . Or if you use WPML you have the option to link to different domains.
But i have to say that having different sites for all languages is not a good idea. Google will ignore websites with the same content. Google will think those sites are duplicates and your search results will suffer greatly. You have a setting in most multilingual plugins to auto detect your language based on your browser. This is far more superior imo than having a lot of different sites.
I'm working with PHP web site and I need to get count of sites for custom expression in Google search. Also I need to get rivality level [0..1] of this custom expression (query).
I've searching for something like this in Google Custom Search API but didn't find.
Thanx for helping.
After much trawling and emailing of sales people, I have been unsuccessful in finding a Wordpress plugin for Google Maps that will work with a database.
All the plugins I have seen so far use a control panel for manually adding the addresses. I have over 1000 addresses which are searched for by users with maximum results of 250.
I would like those results to appear on a map (it doesn't have to be a Google map).
The current search engine within my Wordpress site is a custom written PHP file with a request from the functions.php file based on the page url, i.e. the shopping page brings up a shopping search box.
The database is MySQL.
Does anyone know of a plugin that will work with a database for dynamic results based on user input?
I've tried using Googles' API directly but I only write basic PHP and found it completely confusing with help files that only give circular links so I'd rather pay for a good plugin with support if it's available.
Thanks.
I want to integrate Google Custom Search into my website searching box.
The problem is I still want to keep my searching box. In addition, if the keywords are stock symbols, will use my site search engine. If the input is not stock symbol, will use Google Custom Search to search my website.
I want to use google custom search to search my whole site. The search result should be on my website but not jump to google search.
There is a JSON/Atom Custom Search API provided by google. Is this the only way to do this?
Please advice!

Start here http://www.google.com/cse/manage/create. Then you will receive a original custom google search bar. Then you can grep the query which it produces and force your own form to result in the same query.
The paid version of the Custom Search Engine has a very clean XML implementation. You could pre-process the query and check whether it's a stock ticker symbol. If it is, handle it yourself, if not, send it to the CSE, get the XML, and format as you like. I wish they had it in the free version, but they don't.
As an alternate option, there are many free open source search engines, Solr/Lucene (implementations by SearchBlox, Constellio, Lucid Imagination, etc.), Sphinx, OpenSearchServer, Elastic Search, Xapian...
