this bit of the settings form, and corresponding documentation (README) is misleading...

API Key
Your Google Site Search API key. If no key is given, the module will not work and will be disabled.

should actually read:

Search engine unique ID
Your Search engine unique ID. If no ID is given, the module will not work and will be disabled.

the parameter you're sending in your http request is "cx" which is the google cse search engine id.
if your code Were sending api key (which, curiously, it does Not), that parameter is "key".

it took us a bit of head-scratching to realize what was going on and to successfully configure this module as a result.
please correct.

Yes, it was... But I've just done a new release with additional bug fixes... But I don't understand what you mean by "... it would be easy to check whether this great piece can be explored further as per the requirement"?
