Search about adg HOT 7 CLOSED

AFAIK, Google Site Search has been discontinued.
As an alternative, we could consider https://sitesearch360.com/ which comes with client-side integration as well as with a REST API.
The pricing is not bad neither.
I also have quite some experience with server-side integration, via the REST API.

Regarding the widget itself, a very good one is http://leaverou.github.io/awesomplete/
It also handles ARIA attributes.
I've used it in a few projects already, but never took the time to test the Accessibility implementation.

@ralf57, I think the "Custom Search" will still be available, the downside would be ads within the result list: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/google-shutting-down-site-search-service-moving-customers-to-cse/

@backflip You're correct. We dropped it for customer projects exactly for that reason but for the ADG could still be a viable (free) option. To be discussed.

@jmuheim, what do you think in terms of budget for services like this? https://sitesearch360.com sounds promising, would ~100 USD a year be feasible?

In order to sum things up, we have now 2 possibilities:

1. use the https://developers.google.com/custom-search/, which comes with the its own autocomplete widget (not sure how accessible it is). The main limitation is that the

JSON/Atom Custom Search API provides 100 search queries per day for free. Additional requests cost $5 per 1000 queries, up to 10k queries per day.

2. use sitesearch360.com (Holmes or Batman plan). I've already contacted them and asked for a sponsoring. Update: sitesearch360.com decided to sponsor the ADG with a premium plan
   Although they did not ask for it, I propose to add a "Search powered by Site Search 360" link to their website in the footer, as a thank you.

As agreed, we proceed with option 2) from the previous comment.
I've created a Site Search 360 account, done a quick indexing of http://accessibility-developer-guide.netlify.com and a first (wip but working) client-side integration of the service.
The code can be found at #37

The implementation, based on Site Search 360, has been merged into master.
