Trying to wrap my head around this.

It seems to not make frontend requests to Google.

So Google has an API?

Where is the pricing information? I cannot find it. Even when searching with Goosh :)

Thanks

    Custom Search JSON API provides 100 search queries per day for free.
    If you need more, you may sign up for billing in the API Console.
    Additional requests cost $5 per 1000 queries, up to 10k queries per day.

    If you need more than 10k queries per day and your Programmable
    Search Engine searches 10 sites or fewer, you may be interested in
    the Custom Search Site Restricted JSON API, which does not have a
    daily query limit.

This makes it sound like 10k queries per day is the max, no matter how much you pay?

This looked pretty good at first! Now I don't get results anymore. Maybe it runs on the free quota of Google custom search?

Otherwise, I would have loved to add it to my search engine comparison page. I found 41 useful unique search engines so far:

This one looked like it might have been the cleanest of them all.

How about setting the title to something like “Goosh: the Google Shell”? It’d sure be nice to have some indication before clicking of what the link is about.

Developing anything around Custom Search API does not make sense because of the limits.

If I can make a custom search engine removing e.g. Pintrest from the results, I'd gladly pay. $5 per 1000 queries seems expensive though.
