Konrad Windszus commented on MSKINS-193:
----------------------------------------
As the license of the placeholder image currently in use is not clear to me
(https://cse.google.com/cse/images/google_custom_search_watermark.gif) I
propose to instead rely on a textual placeholder only.
> Remove 3rd party JS for Google Site Search

> Key: MSKINS-193
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSKINS-193
> Project: Maven Skins
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Fluido Skin
> Affects Versions: fluido-1.11.0
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently the [Google Search
> Feature|https://maven.apache.org/skins/maven-fluido-skin/#googlesearch]
> relies on a JS loaded from Google (for skinning purposes):
> https://github.com/apache/maven-fluido-skin/blob/171292d7f70b78c449d602da2414815cdb8e4ffd/src/main/resources/META-INF/maven/site-macros.vm#L634.
> In order to be compatible with
> https://privacy.apache.org/policies/privacy-policy-public.html one should not
> load any resources from Google without explicit User consent.
> It should be possible to use the Google Site Search with just custom HTML and
> CSS without the need to load JS from Google.
> Obviously once the user submitted a search query, Google would get all data,
> but I guess consent can be assumed in that case.
