Feature: Google Position #

> Legacy version (v0.55.0). Checks a site's position in Google search results for a given query by scraping the results page.

---

Installation and Configuration #

Via FTP: Upload the `google_position/` directory into `/plugins/`.

Paths:

• Main plugin: `/plugins/google_position/google_position.php`
• Configuration: `/plugins/google_position/conf/google_position.conf.inc.php`

Required level: `GOOGLE_POSITION_LEVEL_HIGHUSER`

---

Usage #

1. Enter a search term

2. The plugin queries Google and scans the results to find the installation's domain

3. Displays the found position and total number of results

Warning: this approach relies on HTML scraping of the Google results page, which may return a block (error 429) at any time. Google regularly changes its page structure, which can render this plugin non-functional.
