### Features

After installing and activating the component remember also to update the `js.search.search_google` and `js.search.or_search_google` strings (from `/admin/customize/site_texts`) by replacing ‘Google’ with ‘Baidu’ or ‘百度’.

### Credits

Thanks to @david for finding the workaround to make the search work on a specific site even without using the `Q6` parameter which doesn’t work properly with the search terms!
