Simply add that line to your Search Box code before the javascript.

By the way FORID is the ad placement and 11 is top and bottom and 10 is top and right. I think 9 is top only but you'd have to test that.

I changed mine to FORID:10 and the ads are now Top and Right.

I'm not sure why some people need this and some people don't, but this worked. I found the answer in the Google CSE Forum buried deep in the older posts.

thanks, that worked for me =)
