How to block old search page results from G's Custom Search?

[TimmyMagic]

Hi,

I just signed up for the Google Custom Search and love it!

The only problem is that it shows results for my shopping carts inbuilt search facility which I no longer use, and haven't had on the site for a long time. I have the following in my robots.txt file:

Disallow: search.php

When I do a test search using the new custom search it shows results such as:

Title = Search Results
Desc = #*$!#*$!#*$! (varies)
URL = www.mysite.com/search.php?mode=search&page=6 -

Does anyone know how I can omit the custom search from showing these results? They don't look good.

This might work

Disallow: /*?

supposed to block any url with a ? I think.

Google's Custom Search help pages cover this topic pretty well:
