Overview
This plugin adds Google Custom Search to your website, but unlike other plugins
operates on the server side, thus eliminating the need for JavaScript and
keeping the page size small.
The admin interface is based on that used by the [WP Google Search plugin]
(https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-search/)
The interface with the Google API is based on Digital Collection Search by Jason Clark for Montana
State University.
