Server-Side Google Search WordPress Plugin
Adds a lightweight Google Custom Search to your website, without the need for
JavaScript.
This plugin adds Google Custom Search to your website, but unlike other plugins operates on the server side, thus eliminating the need for JavaScript and keeping the page size small.
The admin interface is based on that used by the [WP Google Search plugin] (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-search/)
The interface with the Google API is based on Digital Collection Search by Jason Clark for Montana State University.
