Google Search Appliance Simple Search

This project is meant to provide a simpler / more themeable alternative to the module below:

http://drupal.org/project/google_appliance

I ported some code from the other google appliance module, but I drastically reduced to the code that builds the query that hits GSA. The search results pages are broken up into either templates or theme functions and are meant to be easily overridable from the site theme. This project to my knowledge only supports GSA - I haven't integrated anything for GSA mini.

This project has stemmed from our company's need to have a simple GSA implementation that's easily themeable and with code someone can actually read and understand. One of the problems we had with the other implementation was drilling down to where the query was being made to find out what was happening on the back end.

Also I have added an API hook called hook_parse_gsa_result_row() allowing developers who need to override the parsing of each GSA result row the ability to do additional parsing in addition to being able to theme the results from an included .tpl. The goal of this project was to prevent continually having to hack a GSA module for each site when typically all that's needed to be modified are look and feel.

Please give us feedback and let us know how we can improve this module.
