    copied!<p>My Mac recently "retired" so I successfully ported my Rails 2.3.8 app to an Ubuntu installation on Windows. Everything works well except now I don't get any results when I do an image search using my Google custom search (CSE).</p> <p>I have a valid API key and a unique custom search ID - this is confirmed because I get results when executing a regular "web" search using the CSE. I am also well within the daily request limit. I've also double-checked the API reference to ensure that the published syntax hasn't changed and it hasn't.</p> <p>I am issuing the following requests:</p> <pre><code>result_count=10 query='apple' </code></pre> <p><strong>1) Web Search (yields results) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</strong></p> <pre><code>type='' url="https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=#{ENV['GOOGLE_KEY']}&amp;cx=#{ENV['GOOGLE_SEARCH_ID']}#{type}&amp;alt=json&amp;num=#{result_count}&amp;q=#{query}" </code></pre> <p>RESULT => As expected, a JSON-format string with 10 items/results</p> <p><strong>2) Image Search (NO results regardless of query) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</strong></p> <pre><code>type='&amp;searchType=image' url="https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?key=#{ENV['GOOGLE_KEY']}&amp;cx=#{ENV['GOOGLE_SEARCH_ID']}#{type}&amp;alt=json&amp;num=#{result_count}&amp;q=#{query}" </code></pre> <p>RESULT => A JSON-format string with 0 items/results, shown below:</p> <pre><code>{ "kind": "customsearch#search", "url": { "type": "application/json", "template": "https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?q={searchTerms}&amp;num={count?}&amp;start={startIndex?}&amp;lr={language?}&amp;safe={safe?}&amp;cx={cx?}&amp;cref={cref?}&amp;sort={sort?}&amp;filter={filter?}&amp;gl={gl?}&amp;cr={cr?}&amp;googlehost={googleHost?}&amp;c2coff={disableCnTwTranslation?}&amp;hq={hq?}&amp;hl={hl?}&amp;siteSearch={siteSearch?}&amp;siteSearchFilter={siteSearchFilter?}&amp;exactTerms={exactTerms?}&amp;excludeTerms={excludeTerms?}&amp;linkSite={linkSite?}&amp;orTerms={orTerms?}&amp;relatedSite={relatedSite?}&amp;dateRestrict={dateRestrict?}&amp;lowRange={lowRange?}&amp;highRange={highRange?}&amp;searchType={searchType}&amp;fileType={fileType?}&amp;rights={rights?}&amp;imgSize={imgSize?}&amp;imgType={imgType?}&amp;imgColorType={imgColorType?}&amp;imgDominantColor={imgDominantColor?}&amp;alt=json" }, "queries": { "request": [ { "title": "Google Custom Search - apple", "totalResults": "0", "searchTerms": "apple", "count": 10, "inputEncoding": "utf8", "outputEncoding": "utf8", "safe": "off", "cx": "my_private_cx_id", "searchType": "image" } ] }, "searchInformation": { "searchTime": 0.023136, "formattedSearchTime": "0.02", "totalResults": "0", "formattedTotalResults": "0" } } </code></pre> <p>The image search used to work until I ported the app - I don't know what I'm missing but I suspect it is a minor oversight.</p>
