GoogleSiteSearch not working on internal site
I've installed this extension on 1.11.2 version of MediaWiki. I am unable to get any results for search. My company is hosting the wiki as an internal site. Would there be a special setup required in this case? Or is it even possible to use GoogleSiteSearch for this?

I've run into the exact same trouble as mentioned by Jenn above. Internal company CMS-wiki and tried to add a better search engine. No search results whatsoever. Any suggestions/solutions/tips would be greatly appreciated.

This search extension can only report what Google can see. Google (thankfully!) can't see inside your company's firewall.

I really like this implementation of Google Search! We recently bought a Google Mini search appliance and was wondering if there is a way to get this extension working with our own search box instead of the public Google search? Anyone attempted this yet?

Searching Just the Wiki
Alright, I'm sure this is very simple, but I'd rather not meddle if I'm unsure about something. I'd like my GoogleSiteSearch extension to search only the wiki on my website. The link below shows that it actually picks stuff up from the deeper levels of the site. While its not a big deal, it could be distracting for users. http://www.arcandio.com/wiki/index.php5?search=blade&fulltext=Search

Is it possible to use the first two search variables to direct SiteSearch just to the /wiki folder? or is google too awesome for me and can only search the entire thing?

Much appreciated. Very slick extension I must say.
