Wow. This page is actually strangely appealing. It loads fast. I don't have to click off to another page to get the news headlines. Ads are restrained to just a couple square boxes.
Amazing. It even renders more or less decently on mobile. I'm going to start a new trend in web design. I'll call it 56k design.
What are some competitors to site search?

That was pretty much my criteria when I was making forum software: https://www.lfgss.com/
It's still too heavy and slow, and there's still some things I could do better. But that's nitpicking, it's pretty good and when I finish re-structuring all of the code it will be a single binary install for those who want to use it, or a split-binary Web-UI + API for those who want to only do certain parts (i.e. customise and host the front-end and not care about the back-end, or to scale the background for heavy mobile use without that being serving front-end traffic).
My goals for that software in the next few months:
1. Same-origin everything
2. Eradicate as much JavaScript as possible (graceful degradation to the extreme)
3. What JavaScript cannot be eradicated, do natively (not using jQuery, etc)
4. Single codebase, single binary install from a single `go install` command

Although if you ask around here, you'd probably not find much faith for them to save.
Note that Google custom site search is still available: https://cse.google.com/cse The main difference seems to be that enterprise has custom branding and is ad-free.
