I get
Unauthorized access to internal API. Please refer to 
https://support.google.com/customsearch/answer/4542055

Going to the said site:

This error is an indication of trying to directly access the Custom 
Search Engine’s internal API (‘v1element’). Please use the code snippet 
found in your CSE control panel. Learn more about Custom Search Element 
V2 setup.
For programmatic access use the public CSE JSON API.

*Sounds* like a relatively simple fix, but I wonder.

There's a deafening silence from the POV-Ray developers so far ;-)  Maybe Google
wants to charge money now for what used to be a free(?) service (?)

It's beyond my ken. :-)

It doesn't seem as if anyone has taken over responsibility for the 
website since Uncle Ken left.

To the best of my knowledge, Chris Cason would be the one to turn to for
fixing such things. He's not being showered with round tuits though.

Thanks indeed Chris. However, it does not seem to have solved my 
problem. The attached screen dump shows the problem. The word "Loading" 
blocks all further action. Any idea what causes this? Thanks!

Can you try a shift-reload to clear your cache?

The 'loading' message is a static part of the page and is replaced
automatically once the google search script is successfully loaded and
functional. If that's not happening then something is preventing that
loading.

If that doesn't help please let me know.

Oh! That is fast!

I am afraid, that did not help unfortunately.

Do you have any extensions that could be interfering with loading of
scripts from cse.google.com?

If not, can you open your browser's debugging console (usually F12),
select the 'network' tab, then reload the page? Check the network tab
for any failed requests, and the console tab for any error messages.
