The search interface

A search interface is the graphical user interface used by employees to search a data source. A search interface can be developed for use on any device, from a mobile phone to a desktop computer.

There are two ways to create a search interface for Google Cloud Search:

Create a custom interface using the Cloud Search Query API. The Cloud Search Query API is part of the Cloud Search REST API.
Implement the Cloud Search widget within a web page.
