I would like to create my own search engine, with potentially high volume of visitors, and provide accurate and convenient search results of it's users.
I wonder whether any of the big search engines (Google, Yahoo/Overture, Ask, etc.) provide a feed with search results which I would be able to integrate into my site and display to my users as if they were my results? Something like the XML feed, which is provided by most PPC search engines, except that I need non-commercial and really relevant results, and I understand that I'd probably have to pay to receive the kind of search results that I need. Sadly, I couldn't find any info of a service like this on Google's nor Yahoo's list of products and services, so I'm asking whether someone here have heard of such.
Welcome to Webmasterworld!

Google and Yahoo both provide their free search API which you can use in your website for non-commercial purpose. both APIs are kinda very nice and powerfull, you can easily format the output as you want and number of results as you want, and there is i think limit of 1000 queries per day but that you can check on their sites.
Try searching for Yahoo Web API and Google Web API and you ll enter a whole new world ;)
They have interface coded in almost every web programming language (that helps alot)
