Adding AppSearch to Moodle

For those interested, here are the steps to adding the AppSearch Google
Gadget to a Moodle course:
1. Turn editing on
2. On the right hand side, where it says Blocks, use the dropdown menu
to choose HTML
3. Find the new block and click the icon for Configuration,which looks
like a little pencil and piece of paper.
4. When the editing page comes up, search on the bottom right of the
toolbar for the button to Toggle HTML Source. It looks like a pair of
angle brackets <>.
5. Paste in the following code:
