Hi AppleBag,
It looks like you've gotten the Google CSE working at http://geekdrop.com/search/google.
Did you do anything that changed why you are now getting returns after doing a search?
Thanks,

Hi,
To be honest I haven't touched it since I made the post. The form is there to do the search, however, when I do a search, it just goes through the motions, acting like it's doing a search, and then still returns nothing. I've been waiting for someone to reply to this with some advice, lol.

AppleBag, have you solved this issue? Looking at your site, you might have. What was the fix? I have a similar issue, no results on 3 sites built with the same config than 2 others that work just fine. I see results searching the preview on the Google CSE site, but none displayed on my sites. I must be missing something. Could it be because the sites are new? (the ones that work are new as well).
[edited]
I seem to be missing a variable at the end of the queries for sites not displaying results. Anybody knows what these last digits are? #875, #925 ... nothing for the sites without results displayed.
Google CSE results are displayed on these sites

http://www.glamparis.com/search/google/casting?query=casting&cx=01421302...
No results for these

Thanks for any guidance, fully appreciated.

Hi Arnaud,
I gave up on that particular module and use the Adsense module, which has a GCS block in it. That's the one you're seeing on my site at the moment. The one thing it doesn't seem to do is "blend" in with the Drupal search the way this module does, and you have to choose whether to show the GCS or the drupal search, however, they both return different results, so I've kept both available to users for the time being, albeit, it's not very elegant.

Well, uninstalling and reinstalling the module fixed the issue.
