Hi David,

this project is entirely done as a volunteer effort on my side.

Speaking of volunteer work, I would like to thank everybody in
contributing feedback and code to the feature. The page has moved to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Google_Custom_Search based on
feedback from the talk page.

The syntax to include the Google CSE tool has been simplified, it is
now down to one line of code.

All in all, I am extremely pleased about the reception this project
has received. It is a test case on how flexible users can change their
own user interface and integrate more feature. I would like to
encourage everyone to experiment and to share his or her experiences
and code.

Mathias
