   You sir, are a god-send. This is just the plugin I’ve been looking for! This greatly simplifies my life and you’ve saved me hours upon hours of coding.

   Will this plugin work with Google’s similar hosted “SiteSearch” service?

   Hi there, this looks great - I’d also be interested to know if this can be hacked to work with Google Site Search. :)

   I’m unfamiliar with Google Site Search, I’m afraid. I guess it depends largely on whether Google Site Search can also return its results in XML format, and if so, if the XML-tree resembles the Google Mini output.

   Nathan, it can be used with sitesearch (the XML returned is the same) but I think I had to modify the parameters sent to the sitesearch service - something like this:

   var $params = array(

   ‘q’ => ”,
   ‘oe’ => ‘utf8′,
   ‘ie’ => ‘utf8′,
   ‘output’ => ‘xml_no_dtd’,
   ‘cx’ => ”, // req
   ‘client’ => ‘google-csbe’,
   ’start’ => ‘0′,
   ‘num’ => ‘10′
   );

   That’s pretty cool, Brent. Do you have an example online, somewhere?
