Making Google Custom Search display results on a new tab

Question

I am developing a website which has custom Google search bar embedded into it. My client wants a functionality that when a user searches something into that search box, a new page should open where he should be shown the result of his search. The current Google search bar displays the result just below it. Is there any way I can change to display the results in a new tab? Please help out. Thanks

I would recommend using the new Google Custom Search Widget. It provides a simple parameter to open the searched item in a new window. The method you are using is deprecated.

<gcse:searchbox-only resultsUrl="http://www.example.com" newWindow="true" queryParameterName="search">
