Google Co-op Search API.

Anyone using this? If so, how is it?

 

I used it to create a mobile phone search engine.

Mad4, your search requires JavaScript to be enabled. Is that a definite requirement from G-CSE?

 

It seems to be, yes. I would have preferred more control over the results myself but its not possible. Initially I expected to be using the google search API in php so the JS was a suprise.

There is a way to integrate the Coop search into the AJAX API but it seemed a bit too much effort.

The results are displayed using the following code, there is little option to customise.

 

I guess that way they can harvest all the client data rather than being kept i the dark by server side methods.
