From the first time I laid eyes on the Google AJAX Search API, I admired the way that it really lowered the bar for people to add rudimentary search functionality onto their website with just a few lines of Javascript. With the deprecation of the WebSearch and LocalSearch portions of this API and the introduction of the Custom Search API, though, the dev team has gone with a simple RESTful interface. While this is more flexible than the AJAX APIs were originally designed to be, it also raises the bar dramatically for those wanting to implement search functionality on their sites. This is designed to be an object-oriented JS wrapper for the Google Custom Search API. You MUST supply your own API key.
