Hey all, I just released a new add-on for EE2 called Google Custom Search, which lets you display search results from your Google Custom Search Engine using standard EE template tags.

This module is a great search solution for your site if:

• you have a small-to-medium traffic site;
• you want better relevance when searching, including the ability to add synonyms for search terms and more;
• you need to include the contents of PDF files in your search results;
• you need to search non-EE content (e.g., static HTML files) or content from other domains or sites, in addition to your EE content.

Google Custom Search costs $19, and is available on devot:ee.

This works with paid Google Custom Search accounts as well I assume?

Thanks!

That’s a good question ... I assume you mean Google Site Search?

It will indeed work, as in you’ll get your results. But you’ll still be limited to 100 total results, and will still have the 100 queries/day limit. So you won’t be getting the extra benefits of GSS.

For GSS accounts, Low Google Search maybe be a better option (as it works with the GSS XML API).

Thanks too bad about the limits but thanks for the info!
