title: Why will Google Custom Search API not work from localhost (WAMP, XAMPP) but is OK on a University Server?
body: <p>Basically I am working on a meta search engine and have BING and Blekko APIs working fine on localhost (WAMP and XAMPP) but Google Custom Search won't play ball. Now Google will work just fine on a university server, so it's NOT a simple code issue. I'm guessing either Google doesn't want me using a localhost, or the localhosts (WAMP or XAMPP) require a tuning. Anyone who has any knowledge about this must be a web legend. Cheers.</p>
