Blocked web windows
August 27, 2014 12:00 AM
So I finally found a use for a web window (a pre-filled Google search) and it comes up blank when published. It does work in the preview. Other sites like Wikipedia seem to work, but when I put in Yahoo or Google, I get a blank window. Are sites blocking our ability to do this?

Ok, this works with a Google custom search (http://www.google.com/custom) but this puts ads in a prominent space above the search results.
I think Google deliberately prohibits this behaviour to prevent site spoofing. E.g. running a site filled with scam ads with Google iframe in the middle.
