Title: Search with Google Author: rtCamp Published: ഒക്ടോബർ 19, 2020 Last modified: ഏപ്രിൽ 29, 2025 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/search-with-google/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=2402707) ![](https://ps.w.org/search-with-google/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2402707) # Search with Google By [rtCamp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rtcamp/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/search-with-google.1.2.3.zip) * [Details](https://ml.wordpress.org/plugins/search-with-google/#description) * [Reviews](https://ml.wordpress.org/plugins/search-with-google/#reviews) * [Installation](https://ml.wordpress.org/plugins/search-with-google/#installation) * [Development](https://ml.wordpress.org/plugins/search-with-google/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/search-with-google/) ## Description This plugin will replace the WordPress default search query with server-side results from either the [Custom Search Site Restricted JSON API](https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/site_restricted_api) or the [Custom Search JSON API](https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview). You can make your selection within the settings > Reading > Search type. This replacement is done on the WordPress back-end, so results appear as normal within WordPress search. #### Requirements 1. [Google API Key](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials) 2. [Programmable Search engine ID](https://cse.google.com/all) #### Setup 1. [Get Google API key](https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/introduction). An API key is a way to identify your client to Google. 2. [Get Programmable Search engine ID](https://cse.google.com/). In Google settings, restrict the Search engine to only search for your one site. 3. On WordPress dashboard, set API Key and Custom Search Engine ID in the plugin settings.` Dashboard > Settings > Reading > Search with Google Settings`. 4. Select the search type from Custom Search Site Restricted JSON API or Custom Search API. (Refer [Notes](https://ml.wordpress.org/plugins/search-with-google/?output_format=md#notes) section for more details) #### Notes 1. Custom Search Site Restricted JSON API can show only 100 search results for the query. 2. A result page can have maximum of 10 results. 3. Assistance for Custom Site Restricted Search JSON API is scheduled to cease as of December 18, 2024. [Read more](https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/site_restricted_api). Due to this modification, we are introducing an opt-in feature that enables the use of solely the Custom Search API, as opposed to the Custom Site-restricted Search API. This will allow you to continue using the Custom Search API after December 18, 2024. #### BTW, We’re Hiring!

Complete fail. This is a working CSE setup. Wanted to remove the custom/manual implementation for a working plugin. I will keep looking for a working plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c2b2175352863b5ba0548d7178ca08fdfdfa5035e40e709b1e59ef4ab76e9db1? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does NOT work; never did!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-work-never-did/)󠁿 [Brian Brown, Ph.D.](https://profiles.wordpress.org/brianbrown/) ജൂൺ 7, 2023 This plugin does not work and never could have, since the only file is just a placeholder. A total waste of time. It should be removed from the repository immediately! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5aaa9c9e320c727689c494e5044c32f6a8ddeb82f45f05c682f07e6b0f007b57? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does what it says on the tin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-what-it-says-on-the-tin-493/)󠁿 [Robert Peake](https://profiles.wordpress.org/robertpeake/) ജൂലൈ 9, 2021 Provided you know how to get your API Key and Search engine ID from Google, this couldn’t be easier to set up. Compare results with the results in the “Public URL” page at cse.google.com with the plugin switched on or off, and if your site is well SEO-optimised, you’ll see much better results with it switched on and properly configured. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b558b3580c07c012f898a8c14ff429525cda52dfca3b7497e532ae6bdbe04322? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[No support.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-support-428/)󠁿 [Jero](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jero25/) ഡിസംബർ 8, 2020 Doesn’t know whether this plugin works after installation and no support.
