Description
Hi,
Thanks a lot for this module.
I have had AdSense module installed for nearly a month, but whenever I search for something using this in-build google Search no results are being returned.
Do I need to insert anything in any of the .tpl files???
Or do I need to bring any of the code from Google's customization page?
Something is definitely wrong...

You don't need to insert anything in the .tpl files.
All you need is enable the search block.
However, you may not yet have any pages indexed in Google.
First, try searching Google's index of your web site.
Replace "something" and "example.com" below with some search term on your site and the domain name of your site.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Aexample.com+something&btnG=G...
See if Google has anything first. If not, then the module may be working fine, just that google has nothing from you yet.

Hi,
thanks for getting back to me.
That's the whole paradox: Google itself has already started building an index for my site, and for some of the search terms I'm already on the front page of Google even thoughI have not officially launched the site yet (I use XML Sitemap module - very nice).
So when I search google.com with site:my_site_name.com for whatever_particular_term, then it returns at least 5 results.
But when I search with the "Google AdSense for Search" tab on the Search page, I'm not getting any results whatsoever. That's the problem.
I would love to use the Google AdSense block from your module (which didn't work for the previous 3 weeks and only started working today), but it is not very customizable like like the way that Google Lets you choose not to display web-search radio button (only search inside your site), and the way that it displays the Google Custom Search logo inside the search form itself, thus allowing you to neatly put it in the top banner.

Same problem here! :-(

Same problem. The site is indexed extensively.
I wonder whether this is a problem related to Google's recent change of Adsense search to their CSE system? ( See e.g. http://googlecustomsearch.blogspot.com/2008/05/custom-search-expands-to-... )
If this is right then nobody's Adsense search through this module works now, and this issue should be marked as critical.

I can't help with this at all, since my sites which use the 5.x-2.0 version work fine, search and all.
