# Google Search Plugin
Through the plugins endpoint, you can use google search for answers to your questions with assistance from GPT! To get started, you need to get a Google Custom Search API key, and a Google Custom Search Engine ID. You can then define these as follows in your `.env` file:
```env
GOOGLE_API_KEY="...."
GOOGLE_CSE_ID="...."
```
You first need to create a programmable search engine and get the search engine ID: https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/tutorial/creatingcse
Then you can get the API key, click the "Get a key" button on this page: https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/introduction
<!-- You can limit the max price that is charged for a single search request by setting `MAX_SEARCH_PRICE` in your `.env` file. -->
## 1\. Go to the [Programmable Search Engine docs](https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/tutorial/creatingcse) to get a Search engine ID
## 2\. Click on "Control Panel" under "Defining a Programmable Engine in Control Panel"
