I’m trying to add the google custom search engine to the header of our discourse forum. I put in the javascript to the head tag and then in the body there is something like `<gcse:search linkTarget="_self"></gcse:search>` - which will show the google custom search engine.

When I put this in and save it however, it doesn’t show up on the site. I imagine it is being removed by some sort of html filter? (and I should add that by “doesn’t show up” I mean the code itself, not just that the javascript isn’t loading somehow - when I surround it with `<!-- -->`, the code passes through, but obviously doesn’t work).

Is there a way to get this to pass through?

Thanks!
