VERY IMPORTANT - Joomla 2.5
==============
Please switch over to the googleSearch (CSE) component as Google is no longer supporting the old google adsense search code. The new version also supports all Joomla versions, including Joomla 1.0, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5:

Latest Update
=============
v1.0.15 (for Joomla 1.0) and v1.5.15 (for Joomla 1.5)
Released January 12, 2009
Some of you encountered a blank page for search result for v1.5.14. This version fixed the bug. Thanks to Daniel for helping me find the bug and test the solution of the bug fix.
Google Ads
==========
This component is for displaying of Google Search in your Joomla site. If you want to display Google Ads, use the following plugin that I've written - the "googleAds" plugin:
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,5022/Itemid,35/
Google Search Module
====================
You might also want to complement this with the googleSearch module:
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,4935/Itemid,35/
The module allows you to add an additional Google search box as a module. This means that you can place the search form in any module position you like. When the user clicks the search button, the search result will be displayed in your Joomla main body by the googleSearch component.
Key Features
============
- This is a component, not a module. This means the search result resides directly in your Joomla main body!
- Works with Joomla 1.0 and 1.5. Both in native mode.
- Gives you many options to customize the google search to suit your needs e.g. setting of foreground / background color, input of channel, default search by web or your domain, etc.
How to install
==============
Set up is as easy as 1-2-3:
1. Install the component
2. Enter your Google Adsense ID
3. Enter your desired width of the search result
That's all you need to get started! You'll now have Google Search right insid
