Description

Currently the Google Search Feature relies on a JS loaded from Google (for skinning purposes): https://github.com/apache/maven-fluido-skin/blob/171292d7f70b78c449d602da2414815cdb8e4ffd/src/main/resources/META-INF/maven/site-macros.vm#L634. In order to be compatible with https://privacy.apache.org/policies/privacy-policy-public.html one should not load any resources from Google without explicit User consent.

It should be possible to use the Google Site Search with just custom HTML and CSS without the need to load JS from Google.

Obviously once the user submitted a search query, Google would get all data, but I guess consent can be assumed in that case.
