Hi Derek,
On our test site, using a term with a colon (“Matthew 5:5” for example) only returns a single result:
https://dev.theologyofwork.org/about
Using regular GSE (not via Google Custom Search add-on), it returns a much wider set of results:
http://www.theologyofwork.org/test
Why are the results different?
Thanks!

Try this - open mod.google_custom_search.php, and on line 200 change:
$args['q'] = urlencode($keywords);
to
$args['q'] = $keywords;
And give it another try?

Thanks, Derek. That did the trick.
Another question for you. Can we use GCS add-on to simply bypass the string query in the URL (generated by default GSE)? For example:
https://dev.theologyofwork.org/search/some-segment/?search=my-search-term
There’s probably a workaround but having a hard time getting it to work with .htaccess + CE Cache,
Much appreciated!

Glad that worked. There’s no option to leave the search terms unencoded I’m afraid - there were too many issues using query strings with different EE setups.
