## Description

**ATTN: This plugin only works with the PAID version of Google Custom Search.**

With RDP Google Custom Search, you can target your site’s contents, or other site’s
contents. You can add multiple CSEs and allow your visitor to choose one.

RDP Google Custom Search uses a simple shortcode so that a search box can be placed
anywhere.

You can put a multi-CSE search box in the main content of your page, and then put
another search box in the sidebar that is dedicated to only one CSE, such as your
site.

Each search box also provides a **Page** selector, which will search the current
page and highlight matching text.

The results are displayed using a special template that replaces the content of 
the current page/post and that can be styled as desired. The default width of the
results content is 980px. The built-in rendering function marks up the results to
use Google styling HTML and class names.

This plugin can be used with the RDP Wiki Embed plugin, which allows you to have
the links in the search results that point to MediaWiki sites to postback and display
content on your own web site.

### Usage

RDP Google Custom Search is implemented using the shortcode [rdp-gcs]. It accepts
the following arguments:

 * id: (required) comma separated list of id numbers, indicating the CSEs to use
 * default: when more than one CSE is selected, this indicates the CSE to use by
   default

Examples:

[rdp-gcs id=’3′]

[rdp-gcs id=’1,3′ default=’1′]

### External Scripts Included

 * jQuery.PositionCalculator v1.1.2 under MIT License
 * jQuery Highlight under MIT License

### PHP Hook Reference:

#### rdp_gcs_render_search_results_applied

 * Params: none
 * Fires after the default render function is added to the filters array.

#### rdp_gcs_styles_enqueued

 * Params: none
 * Fires after plugin-specific styles are enqueued

#### rdp_gcs_scripts_enqueued

 * Params: none
 * Fires after plugin-specific scripts are enqueued

### PHP Filter Reference:

#### rdp_gcs_before_search_box

 * This filter is required for hooking into a function that will render the search
   results. For a custom rendering function, be sure to remove this filter during
   the rdp_gcs_render_search_results_applied hook, and then re-set this filter to
   use your custom rendering function
