Redirects WordPress searches to display Google Programmable Search Engine (GCSE) results.

Features

• Seamless Integration: Works with the standard WordPress Search block or your theme's search form.
• Search Results Page: Redirects all searches to a dedicated page of your choice.
• Configurable: Easy settings to add your Search Engine ID (CX) and select the results page.
• Google-Powered Results: Display Google CSE results using the GPSE Search Results block or [gpse_results] shortcode.

Installation & Setup

1. Install the Plugin: Upload the gpse folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory and activate it.
2. Create a Results Page:
   • Create a new Page in WordPress (e.g., "Search Results").
   • Add the GPSE Search Results block (or the [gpse_results] shortcode) to the page content.
   • Publish the page.
3. Configure:
   • Go to Settings > GPSE.
   • Enter your Google Search Engine ID (CX). (Get this from programmablesearchengine.google.com).
   • Select your "Search Results" page from the dropdown.
   • Save Changes.
4. Add Search Form:
   • Add the standard WordPress Search block to your site (header, sidebar, page, etc.).
   • Or use your theme's built-in search form.

How it Works

• Search Box: Use the standard WordPress Search block or your theme's search form to allow users to search your site.
• Redirection: When a user searches (e.g., /?s=myquery), they are automatically redirected to your custom Results Page (e.g., /search-results/?q=myquery).
• Google CSE Results: The Results Page displays Google-powered search results using your configured Google Programmable Search Engine.
