Google Site Search Plugin

The Daemonites have released the Google Site Search Plugin under LGPL (free for all basically).

GSS Plugin provides close integration for FarCry projects with the Google Site Search service. Google Custom Search enables you to create a search engine for your website, your blog, or a collection of websites.

You can see it in action here on the Australian Olympics website:
http://london2012.olympics.com.au/search?q=100m+gold&s=aocMedia (with a filter for a specific content type)

Note this is the Google Site Search (not Custom Search Engine CSE) and is a paid service with Google.  We need this in order to get access to the XML/JSON API.

Enjoy!
