Customizing Google Custom Search

Question

Does anyone know how to remove the extra branding on the google custom search?

they've added a button and other things like text that says "gadgets powered by google".

there has to be a way to pipe the CSE data into a normal form, right?

Answer 1

I guess the normal way is to buy their Business edition ;)

Still there seems to be some tweaking possible: this custom search form does not look bad.

Answer 2

well the business edition's main benefit is that the search results don't have ads in them. so really google shouldn't care if people are modding the search form on the free service since it will still bring them ad revenue.

i looked at the page you linked to, it might out of date cause their latest code spits out javascript, so nothing's really clear.

i think there's a way to grab my api code and pop it into a normal form script.
