GoogleCustomSearch
==================

Rewritten version of the GoogleCustomSearch plugin, replacing the now deprecated AJAX API with
 the Google Site Search XML API.

How to Use
==========

After adding the Google Custom Search plugin to your vendor/plugins directory, add the following to your environment.rb file:

    GoogleCustomSearch::Search.google_search_api_key = "Your Google API Key"

From there, you can run a search like so:

  @results = GoogleCustomSearch::Search.new.with_page_index(1).for url_encode("query")

Result items can be accessed through the items parameter (i.e. result.items). An example implementation for a view:

  <% @results.items.each do |result_item| %>
    <div class="result">
      <div class="title">
        <h4>
          <%= link_to sanitize(result_item.title), result_item.url %>
        </h4>
      </div>
      <div class="description">
        <%= sanitize(result_item.content) %>
      </div>
      <div class="url">
        <%= result_item.url %>
      </div>
    </div>
  <% end %>

And, finally, a sample implementation to create next and previous page links:

  <div class="pagination-links">
    <% if @result.items.count > 0 %>
      <% unless @result.first_page? %>
        <%= render :partial => "page", :locals => {:page_number => @result.previous_page_number, :label => "&lt; Previous"} %>
      <% end %>
      <% unless @result.last_page? %>
        <%= render :partial => "page", :locals => {:page_number => @result.next_page_number, :label => "Next &gt;"} %>
      <% end %>
    <% end %>
  </div>
