Is there any FREE custom search api like google custom search?

Question

I'm using google JSON/Atom Custom Search API now. The problem is the total queries are only 100 per day. Need to pay for extra queries.

Is there any FREE Custom Search API? Maybe from Bing or Yahoo?

Thanks!

• Searcharoo, its open source and customisable. http://searcharoo.codeplex.com/

• lucene, from apache open source and customisable. http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/index.html

There is not available any api in java for search the google results. so you have only do for paid for this api and get the 1000 query for per day. and you can also visit this site for pricing policy https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview#Pricing
