We have a website being developed. It is currently on a staging URL, e.g. stage.example.com.

We want to use Google Site Search for searching on the site. To make the site go live we need sign-off and working search.

How can I setup Google Site Search if it is not on its final URL yet?
Final URL will not have stage sub-domain and have a different domain, e.g. example.org.

You could use Google Custom Search which is free (and has ads and has less control of branding) if the client really wants to see it before sign-off. However it won't be as the final version will be because you have less control.

Or you could just explain that you'll set it up once the site goes live.

I suggest you setup the search AFTER your site is in your current url.
Otherwise you will have lots of duplicates on the web, or 404 if your staging url is removed.
