Step 17: Configure Search String (optional)

Note: This step can be used to verify that Google Search is set up properly and does not require the Champion Movers recipe to be downloaded.

Steps:

  • The most important part of using Custom Search is the query attribute which represents the search string used
  • An example is to use the Concatenate Attributes task template to create a search string as shown here. You will need to create your search string attribute in a separate task prior to configuring your Get Search Results task
