I have installed and set up adsense successfully on several sites.
It works well with adds and links.

Now I am trying to configure Adsens for search but this does not work.

The Adsense search box shows up correclty, but when using for a search, it returns an error looking like this:

Not Found
The requested URL /cse?cx=partner-pub-2041514278745847%3A2308935293&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&sa=Search&q=essai&ad=w9&num=10&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.controlchaingroup.fr%2Fadsense%2Fcse%3Fcx%3Dpartner-pub-2041514278745847%253A2308935293%26cof%3DFORID%253A10%26ie%3DUTF-8%26as_q%3Dessai%26sa%3DSearch was not found on this server.

In the Adsense control panel, the ads are stated "New", not active like the others.
What can be wrong?

Thanks for help

Do you have clean URLs enabled?

I am finding it weird that the error starts with /cse as the configured path is usually /adsense/cse..

Yes, Clean URLs is enabled.
Shall I disable it?
What are the possible side effects?

Thanks

No, please leave Clean URLs enabled. It's a lot better (including for me, as all my sites have that enabled).

I guess that the problem is related to that /cse as the start of the results path.. Can you please PM to me a URL to a page in your site in which the search block is enabled??

Thanks for the link.

I think I know what your problem is. As explained in "admin/settings/adsense/cse":

To use this module, simply go to Google's AdSense site and create your AdSense for Search ad. The generated code will contain a field with partner-Publisher ID:Slot Id. If the code provided is, for example, partner-pub-0123456789:abcdef-ghij , the Slot Id for that ad is abcdef-ghij.

The Slot ID for CSE is NOT the number below the ad in the 'Manage Ad' list. Ask Google for the CSE form HTML code again and you'll be able to see it there. Usually, it's something in the form abcdef-ghij..

thank you so much!
I was assuming that search elements would be handled the same way than ads...
