Check out Yahoo BOSS developer.yahoo.com/search/boss/. It's quite straightforward and you aren't limited to a maximum number of queries per day. We implemented a search tool with BOSS recently, had to say for ease of use we were very impressed.

It works using REST so you send key/value pairs as Get data to the URI they specify, and they return some XML with the search results.

Also you can brand it however you want unlike (I believe) Google's custom search.
