RE: Google Searchbox Not Validating as HTML5

The custom tag doesn't validate since it's not part of HTML5. Google have some instructions for replacing the custom tag with HTML5 valid code here:
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/element#html5

Subject: Google Searchbox Not Validating as HTML5

Hi!  I have added the Google searchbox to my HTML5 site. When I go to the W3C validator I get an error: 'element gcse:search not allowed as child of element div in this context'. I was instructed by Google to put the script in a div, and cannot get the searchbox to work without it. My code is below.
Many thanks!  Julian

<div id="searchbox">    
    <script>
       (function() {    
            var cx = '014531685129972083622:vk5kxnojpx0';    
            var gcse = document.createElement('script');    
            gcse.type = 'text/javascript';    
            gcse.async = true;    
            gcse.src = (document.location.protocol == 'https:' ? 'https:' :
'http:') + '//www.google.com/cse/cse.js?cx=' + cx;

            var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];

            s.parentNode.insertBefore(gcse, s);

        })();

    </script>    
    <gcse:search> </gcse:search>    
 </div>
