The admin interface is based on that used by the [WP Google Search plugin] (https:// wordpress.org/plugins/wp-google-search/) The interface with the Google API is based on [Digital Collection Search](https://github.com/jasonclark/digital-collections-custom-search-api) by Jason Clark for Montana State University. #### Available languages * English * Spanish (incomplete) [Follow this project on Github](https://github.com/aptivate/server-side-google-search) ### Development This plugin uses [wp-cli](http://wp-cli.org/) and [PHPUnit](https://phpunit.de/) for testing.
