Just tried searching on the main site, got a Google Sorry page telling me I was sending an automated search?
Have they changed something or is it a problem on ZZAP!s side?
(Search done with Firefox 5)
Google Search borked?

Em, I am getting the same message. Going to google.com directly and searching works fine, so I doubt our IPs are blocked.
The IP of the website shouldn't matter since the form is submitting from the user's IP.
Maybe my Google search code is out of date.... I'll give it another day and see if it rights itself before looking into it more.
Thanks for the info.

It seems there is a new Google custom search for sites and it looks like they have just "switched off" the old version without announcing it or giving warning (according to some forum posts anyway).
So I'm in the process of trying to fit the new custom search into the site, I have a feeling I won't be able to customise its look like I did with the old one since it's mainly in a JS include file...

Can you do a Google search for the code you need?Iain wrote:It seems there is a new Google custom search for sites and it looks like they have just "switched off" the old version without announcing it or giving warning (according to some forum posts anyway).
