Google Custom Search form to your Advance Search - How to add a Google custom search

All that said. :cool:

This corrected the problem.

Code:
.gsc-control-cse .gsc-table-result {
    font-family : inherit;
}

.gsc-control-cse .gsc-input-box {
    height : inherit;
}

input.gsc-input,
.gsc-input-box,
.gsc-input-box-hover,
.gsc-input-box-focus,
.gsc-search-button, input.gsc-search-button-v2 {
    box-sizing  : content-box;
    line-height : normal;
    margin-top  : 0px;
}
 
Glad you got that sorted, was it maybe a conflict with a style you are using as the Google code should normally work without that?
 
I'm glad you found a solution. Yes, it depends what style for GCS you set in options. I needed to add the code I've sent you before.
 
Hi, thanks for the resource. Could you provide instructions to use Google Search for all your searches, not just Advanced Search?
