It's tough to say what's going on with sites like viewzi.com because a lot of them hide their search functionality server-side or in compiled Flash applications, etc. That said, there are a couple of options out there that they could be utilizing to access Google search results. The first one, of course, is the AJAX Search API. It must be noted, however, that, if this is the case, they are violating the API's terms of use by mixing results from Google with other sources (e.g., Yahoo!). Alternatively, if they obtained a key before it was deprecated in December 2006, they could be utilizing the SOAP Search API, which returned up to 1,000 results but had a rather stringent rate limit. Beyond that, they could be screen scraping (which would be against Google's general TOU) to take the results directly from Google's web interface, or they may have formed some other agreement.
