If your website is getting so large it is difficult to locate specific pages or content, then the free Google Search add-on available in the Concrete5 Marketplace may be a helpful addon. In this tutorial we will show you how to add a google search block to your Concrete5 website. This allows people to easily use google's powerful search to find things within your website, or on the world wide web. 
How to Add a Google Search Block:

1. Login to your Concrete5 Dashboard.
2. Roll your mouse over the Dashboard button and click add-ons.
3. In the Keywords field, type 'google search' and select the Search button. Click the add-on named Google Search.

5. Using the menu, navigate to the page you want to add the Google Search block to, and click the Edit button on the top Left.
