Google CSE

This is not another iframe embed or AJAX result listing plugin. Instead search results from your Google Custom Search Engine is served via WordPress search listing. No need to customize your theme or search box.

You’ll need to get an Google API key and a Google Custom Search Engine ID for it to work.

Features

• Search results sorting by relevance
• Works with all post types
• Multisite & network support
