[LINK] NSW Ombudsman Website Search powered and blocked by Google

[Kim Holburn]

Works OK for me.

Clicking in the search box gives me:

https://www.google.com/cse?q=fred&cof=S%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.etranslate.com.au%3BGL%3A0%3BAH%3Aleft%3BLC%3A%23336666%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.etranslate.com.au%2Fupload%2Fombo%2Fimages%2Fomb_search_hd.gif%3BALC%3A%23336666%3BT%3A%23333333%3BAWFID%3A4282324056518ea9%3B&domains=www.ombo.nsw.gov.au&sitesearch=www.ombo.nsw.gov.au&sa.x=0&sa.y=0

Which gives me a page of results.
