Hi Candelas,

There isn't much need for documentation as it's a very small plugin designed really only to be used once (or at least very irregularly) and the script itself hopefully explains enough.

However, for clarification and consolidation of instructions:
- The module searches Google for your site's URL, and then checks if Drupal recognises the results (the ones that exist on your site at least) as existing.
- A "from install" list:
- Install + enable module.
- Go to `admin/config/search/redirect/google` (this module requires the "redirect" module)
- Add your Google Custom Search API key (from https://code.google.com/apis/console/)
- Wait whilst the script gets data from Google (takes a second or two, shouldn't hang for long at all, and it caches for a short time)
- The table is the search results in order that Google returns them. The "Exists" column shows wether Drupal recognises that that URL exists within the site.
- Click 'Create 301 redirect' on each link where it says "no" to add a redirect to
- Once you've satiated your redirecting urges, you can safely disable the module if you want to (but plz don't).

Hope that helps,
Rich

Add your Google Custom Search API key (from https://code.google.com/apis/console/)

This is not as simple as it sounds. That URL is outdated and redirects to a different URL. Has anyone accomplished this task lately?
