How to add a GoogleMap Search Box to my customized map?

I'm developing my own map with google API and IGN API (french map) and I'd like to add a Google Map Search Box but can't find a way to succeed even after reading carefully the Google Map API.

This is what I have: http://www.tiphainebuccino.com/site/Map/LaCarteAuxTresors_2.html

This is what I want to add (without losing my actual settings): https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-searchbox?hl=fr

I don't understand how to mix the two html codes. Someone could help me? I work in html+javascript.

The relevant (non-working) code:

Solution

I get this error on your map:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'SearchBox' of undefined

You need to include the places library when you load the API.

Change:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>

To:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&sensor=false"></script>

You also don't have an element with id="pac-input" on your page. Add this to your HTML markup:

<input id="pac-input"></input>

Working example

code snippet (with moon tiles as the originals are no longer available):

var ignKey = "ljozkgwvms60dtumhx67z6u3"
var markers = [];

function makeIGNMapType(layer, name, maxZoom) {
  return new google.maps.ImageMapType({
    getTileUrl: function(coord, zoom) {
      var normalizedCoord = getNormalizedCoord(coord, zoom);
      if (!normalizedCoord) {
        return null;
      }
      var bound = Math.pow(2, zoom);
      return 'http://mw1.google.com/mw-planetary/lunar/lunarmaps_v1/clem_bw' +
        '/' + zoom + '/' + normalizedCoord.x + '/' +
        (bound - normalizedCoord.y - 1) + '.jpg';
    },
    name: 'Moon',
  tileSize: new google.maps.Size(256, 256),
  maxZoom: 9,
  minZoom: 0
  });
}

function initialize() {
  var map_canvas = document.getElementById("map_canvas");

  var map = new google.maps.Map(map_canvas, {

// Normalizes the coords that tiles repeat across the x axis (horizontally)
