- Download the show_afs_search.js from google.com/afsonline/show_afs_search.js
- Change the c=”http://”+c+”?”; to c=”https://”+c+”?”; in show_afs_search.js
- Save the show_afs_search.s anywhere on your website (let’s say is accessible from your_website.com/show_afs_search.js)
- Change the source path in the Google Search code to yours customized show_afs_search.js
- Save the your page and enjoy!
