Adds a lightweight Google Custom Search to your website, without the need for JavaScript.

Aptivate

This plugin adds Google Custom Search to your website, but unlike other plugins 
operates on the server side, thus eliminating the need for JavaScript and 
keeping the page size small.
The admin interface is based on that used by the [WP Google Search plugin] 
(https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-search/)
The interface with the Google API is based on <a href="https://github.com/jasonclark/digital-collections-custom-search-api" rel="nofollow ugc">Digital Collection Search</a> by Jason Clark for Montana 
State University.
