I haven't used them for a long time, but it all looks good from the control panel area, but won't give results either in preview or via my websites. |
| Re: Google Custom Search not returning any results | bobsuncle | 3/18/11 5:39 PM | More detail on cse's not returning results. None of the previews or implementation on my websites display results. No error message, and ads are returned for searches. Obviously since they don't work in preview mode, I'd guess it's something buuggy? |
