wouldn't it be simple enough using Google's own AJAX search API ? http://code.google.com/apis/customsearch/v1/overview.html

That would be the simpler approach, but Google wants you to put their logo on your results page and limits you to 100 requests per day, unless you get a paid plan. (http://www.google.com/cse/docs/tos.html)

If you're fine with that, Google Custom Search is a good option. If you're not, maybe Tapir can help. :)

> rate of $5 per 1000 queries

Damn, search is expensive

Or you can try IndexTank. Free up to 100k documents, $49/mo up to 500k. Unlimited queries. (disclaimer: it's my company)
Thank you for making reddit search...usable.
