Hi Douglas,

You can look into the "Customize" section and check out things. If you do not get what you are looking for on the control panel, in that case, you can consider implementing your CSE engine using the layout "Results Only". Where you can have your own customized search box and search button and then use the results only code. As documented "https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/ui?hl=en#layout", one needs to use his own search box to submit the search query. In this method, your search box code should call search and pass on the results to results page and we only provide the code for the Results page which can be pasted on the page where you want to display the results.

You can use the simple form code as the search box would work with "Results-only" layout. Here is the sample search box code:

<form name="google search" action="Your results page.html">
<input id="search" name="q" size="50" type="text" />
<input value="Search" type="submit"/>
</form>

Note: In the above code, you can set the search box as per your need. In the action parameter you will need to enter the full URL path of the page where you have implemented the "Results-Only" code.

Thanks
