I was noticing here that this forum site is possibly using Google Custom Search :

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/silverstripe-dev/xc3puHRy7CM

What I was wondering was if there was a *tutorial* anywhere on how to implement this myself, Google Custom Search with SilverStripe's default search box. Or at least a clear example of how to use the search box to render results from any external search engine (as opposed to an internal database search).

Specifically I need to do this for a 2.4 site though I will also need to do it for a 3.x site in the future. I've already got a paid GSE account ($100/yr).

I have found an add-on for 3.1 which should do the trick.

Unfortunately, there doesnt seem to be an add-on available for 2.4
