Edit: Ah, I missed the point. Here it is in screenshot form: http://adambard.com/img/screenshots/extsearch.png

My idea is to deliver a fully-customizable drop-in search widget in the form of a javascript snippet. I saw a gap in Adwords coverage for similar searches (I hope it wasn't just Google quashing competition), and thought there might be potential. I did a bit of proof-of-concept coding, and now I'm trying to validate the market.

Before edit:

A competitor to Google Custom Search (yeah, I know) called ExtSearch. Right now there's just a lander at http://getcustomsearch.com/

Good luck! In terms of competition, all I know of is one https://swiftype.com/ (2 yrs old ~$10MM raised)
