@bitsnpcs I am unsure how this is related to the Search page.

It is describing placement of a navigation icon to reach the Search Page

Suggesting the placement of icon, and suggesting its location at position #5 on the screenshot above.

Reasoning of position #5 =
1 - it is nearest to where the eyes are looking, when reading the forum posts, so is the best design placement to catch the eye, and create use of it.

2 - as the icons in row at position #4 in screenshot, are small discreet, other placements will make it "become losts", so it would become used less frequently etc.

Ads appear once you enter some search criteria on our Search page, but please don't click on the ads for the sake of supporting. That could get me in a world of trouble for click fraud and cost me my Adsense account, jeopardizing the continuation of this project and community. Of course I appreciate all your support.

Ok, got it! :)

Suggestion -
on left of posts in forum, for user infos, lower (central approx.) is "Reputation" under it there are icons, some do go externally eg; website, blogs, I suggest an icon in this row, maybe nearest to the post wording (right end of row)  to click for using the LL search.

You may have to re-word this, I'm finding it difficult to understand. May I also suggest that you create an entirely new post if you have any new comments, if you re-edit an existing one, I may miss it altogether. Thank you :)



Suggestion -

1 - on left of posts (posts area is #1 in pic)
2 - user infos #2 in pic
3 - lower (central approx.) is "Reputation", #3 in pic
4 - below (lower down) "Reputation" under it there are icons, some do go externally eg; website, blogs, see #4 in pic.
If the Planet Earth icon amongst these is click it goes externally (out of the page to another page) eg; it will go to https://www.linuxliteos.com/
5 - I suggest an icon in this row, at position #5 in pic, at the right end of the row of icons.
6 - I mean an icon for people to click to visit and use the LL Search.

@Moltke It's a Google powered search engine so yes, you will get the same results as if you had set your home page to Google. This will be in Firefox in 3.8
Adblock has to be off, then there will be ads at the top. You can try it on any browser you like.

Hi @Jerry
Thanks for the clarifying, but I'm still I bit confused about how this works, I mean, I want to help by clicking those ads and as long as I don't have to buy anything, but I see none, and yes I turned adblock off. Let me see if I get it right; if I click on this link https://www.linuxliteos.com/search/  am I supposed to see any ads?

Thanks @Jerry for clarifying. Yes I think there will be no confusion if it's to be set as the browser home page like you mentioned.
Using Linux Lite for everything now. I put it on my desktop and my laptop. Woohoo!

@Vera the approach was to make the home page look as familiar to Google search users as possible so that hopefully, there would be no confusion as to its purpose.
Yes, I mean the browser home page. Cheers :)

I was a little confused as I expected the Google Search to only search within Linux Lite, but it didn't. In any case it looks fine. When you mean it's the home page for LL 3.8, do you mean it's the browser home page? If so then I think that will work out fine without causing any confusion about what it's supposed to search for.

After clicking is there a duration to remain on the ad site so LL gets revenue, or it requires purchases on the ad site for LL to earn revenue ?
Is it only begin to raise revenue after LL 3.8 release, or using the link you provided in advance is working now for this.
Is working well, I tested it and had no problems.

Duration - there is no duration. Revenue started the moment I uploaded the Search page. I would ask people not to click on an ad unless it specifically interests them.
