• I installed this, hoping for simple search solution. However, no matter what keyword I entered for the search, it returns “not found”.

    Edit: I see that my site is not indexed. Must have suffered a penalty somewhere… Any rate, I have revised my rating to 3 (neutral). Here are the complete instructions given for the plugin:

    1. install and activate the plugin on the Plugins page
    2. add “Search by Google” widget to your sidebar and customize it

    You might want to consider adding something about having to be indexed in Google for this to work.

    Can you share the link of your website?

    Maybe your site is not indexed by google yet?

    The site is nearly 10 years old, and has been indexed by Google for a very long time.

    I installed a different search widget, which *did* work.

    My site is nequals1health.com, in case you are curious, but as far as I’m concerned, the problem is solved. At least as long as the current search plugin continues to work.

    Your website was not indexed by Google at all.
    You may check that by enterring this string “site:https://nequals1health.com” into google search input on google.com website: https://www.google.com/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=xA59WLrVMNL_8Afl6auICw&gws_rd=ssl#q=site:http:%2F%2Fnequals1health.com

    I submitted your website to google and you should start receiving new visitors from google search engine soon.

    “Search-by-Google” rely on that fact that website should be indexed by Google. Otherwise it will not work.

    May you reconsider your rating because it was not the issue with the plugin?
