Google Custom Search Engine

Hi all. Can someone kindly walk me through how to cutomize the Custom Search Engine of Google please. I have the code in my site, and it does work fine, but the UI is not so good looking.

Perhaps posting the code will get you more interest! People are much more willing to help "on the spot" if the code is presented first hand. :)

@Paul - If you post a link to your site you might have more luck in someone wanting to take a look at the specific issue you are having.

Hi all. The site is at http://walkways.co.nz. I wouldn't mind a website feedback.

The code is from Google: <script> (function() { var cx = 'This section contains a unique ID which I removed.'; var gcse = document.createElement('script'); gcse.type = 'text/javascript'; gcse.async = true; gcse.src = (document.location.protocol == 'https:' ? 'https:' : 'http:') + '//www.google.com/cse/cse.js?cx=' + cx; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s); })(); </script> <gcse:search>/gcse:search

Thanks much!
