Hi,

It looks like something is broken at Google side. Exception thrown in google's code:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object default+en.I.js:486

I hope that it will fixed by Google in near time, anyway WPB team is searching workaround in this time.

Hi there!

This type of Google's API is deprecated. Looks like Google will not fix this problem.
In the near WPB update all of Search modules will be marked as "unconfigured" and will require from site owners apply the new integration scheme. The update will be available for WPB 11.5 and will be published in this month.
Right now I recommend you to use "custom code" option. You can obtain it from https://www.google.com/cse/manage/create for example.
