#114 Google Custom Search is producing a default Google Search

[Chris Lott]

The Google Custom search is not actually performing a custom search. See:
http://clinki.es/gsearch/

When I search using this form the resulting search is no different than a general Google search.

Confirmed. Seems you need to register at Google now to use the CSE feature, see https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/start

It looks like there is one thing that has to happen to make this work and another than is optional, depending on what the intent of the Google Search option is meant to do:

1. Each CSE has a custom code that must be used to include a site. For example, mine is '_cse_dnt8poqwdo0' (for including a site), so I have to have the annotations look like this for each site:

   Annotation about="http://origamiusa.org/"
   Label name="_cse_dnt8poqwdo0"/
   /Annotation

2. If you want the searches to include the sites themselves, then adding a wildcard expands from the linked page to the site:

   Annotation about="http://origamiusa.org/*"
   Label name="_cse_dnt8poqwdo0"/
   /Annotation

Number 2 may not be what you intend, or maybe it could be an option. #1 is required and would, I assume, be a setting in the config to enter one's own CSE code.
