 * Hello,
 * after entering Google API key and Google Custom Search Engine the plugin shows
   an error message saying “ERROR: required”.
 * I have copied and pasted the full Google Custom Search Engine ID in the format
   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:WMX-xxxxxxxxxx and also a new generated API key for browser
   Apps.
 * I have retrieved the API from [https://code.google.com/apis](https://code.google.com/apis)
   from the “API Access” tab.
 * What am I doing wrong? Any help appreciated.
 * Kind regards,
 * Thomas
