Is the search in developer.vectorworks.net broken?

[Nicolas Goutte 31]

When I try to search on developer,vectorwroks.net, like:

http://developer.vectorworks.net/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&profile=default&search=GetObjectName&fulltext=Search

 

I become an error message: "Unauthorized access to internal API. Please refer to https://support.google.com/customsearch/answer/4542055"

 

(Searched with Safari)

It appears to be.  I filed a bug report — there is probably an update needed to work with Google search.  

 

The error is with full site search.  The wiki search (bottom half) still works, but you have to be more accurate in your search terms.  For example, GetName will produce results.

Thank you, I had not seen that only the google search was broken, but not the internal search.

Yes, the API for the google search that we use has been deprecated. We'll update it soon.

I also use google with the site operator:

Good idea, I had not thought about that possibility: if you can do automatically, you can do it manually 🙂
