I have an question regarding the result sets for a GSA request.
When I search with a language restriction and the result should be empty, the GSA still returns all results without language restriction.
Is there any possibility to disable this behaviour, because it seems not very user friendly, to show results which have explicit excluded in a language the user possibly don't understand.
Thanks in advance.
It is a default behaviour well documented in GSA documentation . If you wish to have any customization , i guess you will have to request this feature . I hope you have seen this section right from the GSA language filters documentation .

if possible you can disable it.

I'm trying to use youtube data search and video API in my web application to display top view-counted videos related with several keywords. I'm planing to use totally two calls: the first call get id list with search API, and the second call get details for the ids hit on the first call, with video API.
My question is with regard to search API. Based on my trial and error, If I input multiple keyword with space separation in the parameter q for search API, it's looks behaves as AND condition it's not same as common behavior such as google. To search with multiple keywords with OR condition, As far as I tried, it's looks working if I Include the OR between keywords, but I would like to confirm my assumption correct, officially if possible.
I should be able to find this kind of specification in the official documentation, but finally I have no luck. It's very helpful if you could share these links if exists or give me the official answer.
By the way, it is my first post to stackoverflow. If there is missing point of my question, please kindly advice.
I might be missing something obvious, but is there any way to get an insight into why the GSA results for a query are what they are? E.g. Lucene searchers have explain method. Is there anything similar in GSA?
This would be extremely useful when you don't quite understand why you are getting results that you are getting and why the order is what it is.
No. According to all expert reports in enterprise search domain (i.e. Gartner, but not only), Google never explained how it ranks search results in GSA.
I can't seem to find an official google plus people.search query parameters documentation. on the official page (https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/people/search) there is only the ambivalent saying: "Specify a query string for full text search of public text in all profiles.".
But how? what about using some 'Geo', some 'by_name', a bit of 'gender'?
sorry if it's appear as a newbie question
Unfortunately, you currently cannot search by specifying metadata and scope to type on results. You can carefully craft your queries to find strings that match your target, however, and I don't recommend doing this. Please file an issue request on the Google+ issue tracker.
I would like to use the Google custom search API for searching only in discussions like using the query string &tbm=dsc.
Unfortunately there is no tbm parameter given in the API documentation.
Is it not possible to limit the search results to discussions only?
No, there is currently not a way to do the discussion search with CSE/GSS. The only special search is image which is documented in the API reference. You could use Labels and Refinements to limit your search to specific sites and/or patterns.
Limiting search results for Google Custom Search to only discussion websites is not possible. Just in case, remember that Google Custom Search is for searching over one website or a collection of websites. If your collection is all discussion sites, well, that doesn't seem to be the purpose of Google Custom Search. However, there may be some useful workarounds/solutions.
Workaround 0
Find or generate a collection of discussion sites you're interest in and create a custom search based on that. This would accomplish (almost) the same results you are after.
Workaround 1
You might be able to perform a redirection with refinement labels. This example redirects to a Google Scholar search. You might be able to accomplish the same result using &tbm=dsc.
<CustomSearchEngine>
<Title>Universities</Title>
<Context>
<Facet>
<FacetItem title="Papers">
<Label name="papers" mode="FILTER"/>
<Redirect url="http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=$q"/>
</FacetItem>
</Facet>
</Context>
</CustomSearchEngine>
I'm new with freemarker, I need know about this problem too choose it or not, I will strip XSS by myself but I don't know are other features of freemarker safe when site allow user edit their template?
Oh, goodness no! This is basically equivalent to allowing the user to evaluate arbitrary code. Removing XSS after the fact only removes one potential vulnerability. They'll still be able to do plenty of other things like manipulate POST parameters or perform page redirects.
John is right. And letting the user actually edit freemarker templates themselves seems odd. If you are outputting user input again (like displaying the search term on the results page) I'd suggest using the using the ?html string built-in, it'll save you from the most rudimentary xss attacks (e.g. "you searched for '${term?html}'").
So as others said, it's not safe. However, if those users are employees at your company or something like that (i.e., if they are easily accountable for malevolent actions) then it's not entirely out of question.
