Configuration

Custom Search Engine

Google no longer offers an unregistered image search API. You must set up a Google Custom Search API.

The Custom Search API provides up to 100 search queries per day for free. If you need more than that you'll have to pay.

CSE setup details

1. Create a CSE via these instructions.

• To simulate the old behavior: select "Search the entire web but emphasize included sites" in 'Sites to Search'
• Give it any site on creation, and then remove it when it's selected, unless you want to emphasize that site(s).

2. Turn on images in Edit Search Engine > Setup > Basic > Image Search
3. Get the CSE ID in Edit Search Engine > Setup > Basic > Details (via these instructions)
4. Get the CSE KEY here https://code.google.com/apis/console

• You will need a project, you may reuse an existing one, or create a new one
• Select the project
• Goto the API manager and create a server credential and use the key from that credential

5. Enable Custom Search API

• https://console.developers.google.com
• Select "Enable APIs and get credentials like keys" in your new project
• Click "Custom Search API"
• Click the button "Enable API"

6. Update your conf (and your modules if necessary)
