# WordPress 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](https://code.google.com/apis/console/) and a [Google Custom Search Engine ID](https://www.google.com/cse/) for it to work.__

## Dependencies

* WordPress 3.3

## Features

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

## Installation

1. Place the plugin (`google-cse/` directory) in the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Enter and save your [Google API](https://code.google.com/apis/console/) key and [Google Custom Search Engine](https://www.google.com/cse/) ID.
4. You're done, celebrate with a cup of coffee?

If you want to use images from the Google result in your search result (`search.php`) use `$post->cse_img` for image URL.
