Installation
To install this extension, add the following to LocalSettings.php:

Basic

 * $gcwsID - Google Custom Search ID - requires account with Google. The ID can be found in your GCS control panel under "basic information". Note that if this is left blank (not set in LocalSettings), the result will be a Google site search.
 * $gcwsReplaceSearch - Set to  to completely replace the MediaWiki search engine with a Google search. Defaults to.
 * $gcwsTheme - Possible values are: 'BUBBLEGUM', 'ESPRESSO', 'GREENSKY', 'MINIMALIST', 'SHINY'. Defaults to 'V2_DEFAULT'.

Advanced
It should be set similar to this example: Note: The custom search options variable may leave out customSearchControl.draw, though options will only display then if the variable is named "options".
 * $gcwsCustomSearchOptions - For those who want additional customization, set this instead of $gcwsID (which will be ignored if this is set). Set this variable to equal the insertion code provided by Google. Support for this feature is somewhat experimental.
