   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.

   Hey, I’m going to try this this weekend. Sounds great! Thanks for sharing.

   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?

   Hi Brent, do you have a version of this plug-in that you could share, I gotten part way down the line with making this work with Google Site Search but pagination seems to be a problem, specifically the plug-in doesn’t seem to pick up the ’start’ value from the query string - I wonder if this is actually a bug with the original Google Mini version too?

   By the way, Nathan - a 2.0 version of this add-on is in the making. If you’re interested in a beta, let me know.

    Does the current version of this work with EE 2.1?? (Please say yes…) This would HUGELY simplify my life!

    Brett, the current version is not compatible with EE2. But I’ve got a beta version that is. Drop me an email if you want to try that one out.
