How can I integrate Google Custom Search into Webflow and customize the search results and search bar without Google branding or ads?

Integrating Google Custom Search into Webflow and customizing the search results and search bar without Google branding or ads is possible by following a few simple steps. Here's how you can achieve it:

1. Set up Google Custom Search:
- Go to the Google Custom Search website (https://program.customsearch.google.com) and sign in with your Google account.
- Click on "New Search Engine" and provide the necessary details like the website to search, language, and a name for your search engine.
- In the "Sites to Search" section, select the option that suits your needs. You can either choose to search the entire web or specific websites.
- Once you've configured the basic settings, click on the "Create" button to create your custom search engine.

2. Customize Search Appearance:
- In the Google Custom Search control panel, navigate to the "Look and Feel" section.
- Here, you can modify various aspects of the search appearance, including the search box style and search results layout.
- Customize the search bar to match your website's design by changing the font, colors, and size.
- You can also add your own custom CSS to further enhance the appearance and match it with your website's branding.

3. Remove Google Branding and Ads:
- To remove the Google branding and ads, you'll need to upgrade your Google Custom Search account to a paid version called Google Site Search.
