with one key difference: it uses the Google's new Custom Search Engine (CSE) at the backend.
With Google's new Custom Search Engine (CSE), you can do many exciting things such as:
- search across multiple sites
- add refinements to your searches
- upload annotations
Very Important
==============
Please make sure you have set up a Custom Search Engine in your Google's account before you can use this component. Once you have created a Custom Search Engine, Google will assign a unique CSE ID to that engine. You need to enter the CSE ID into the config page to start using this component.

I've used this tool over a good period of time and highly recommend it.
This component is exactly what i need: good customization capabilities, usage of the new Google CSE API, perfect integration in the site and the search field.
