If you need to upload your template page that you’ve created to operate this task, you’ll need to do so through your host access (FTP UPLOAD). You won’t be able to upload it via WordPress. If you use The way your theme is structured will determine WHERE in your filepath to upload it, however, the easiest way to find out is to go to your theme editor within wordpress admin and find the file name of one of your page templates. Once you’ve done that, highlight it and copy it. Then go to your FTP and do a search for said filename. Upload your new template to that folder. If that doesn’t work, hit me up on my blog (RottenElf.com) and I can help you further.

@Swashata: Thanks for the tutorial. I’m actually making a daring switch from wp search to Google custom search, simply due to the fact that Google search is faster and more accurate. My worries are that it is a huge site that hasn’t launched yet, however, it will have a few hundred thousand pages upon launch (it’s a directory). Plus the wp search doesn’t deal well with multiple word search terms if the two words are from seperate custom fields (i.e. scottsdale and arizona….both from separate custom fields). My concern is that it’s going to take awhile for Google to index all of the pages on the site once I launch it and I don’t want the google custom search results to be hindered upon the launch date….I am definitely perplexed…any ideas

It seems a ridiculous, but I’m a newbie. I want to know how to upload the custom page template just as you mentioned on the step no.2. I get confused..

First of all, thank you for posting this. I’ve been trying to get this working on my site for awhile. But when I enter a search term it keeps redirecting me to my homepage and never shows the search results on the page I specified. The page I want it on was successfully converted to “Adsense Result.” Thoughts?

True for me as well! But at least the search result is much better! Thats why I prefer Google Custom Search! also, why not give a try to adsense search when we have that!

Unfortunately for me, Adsense for Search has never given much revenue. But there are many who have successfully employed this model.
