About Google Programmable Search Engine
Google Programmable Search Engine lets site owners add a customizable search box to their web pages. The search box returns results powered by Google Search. The site owner chooses what content the search covers and how the results page looks.
Site owners can limit searches to their own website or include other sites on the web. They can pick one of several pre-built themes or design their own results page. Search results pages can show ads through AdSense, or the owner can pay a low price for an ad-free experience. The homepage does not state the price. It also describes a separate product, Cloud Search, for searching internal business content, but this product is not covered here.
