Thanks Jeff for posting that example.

In the Custom Search forum, some Custom Search Engine users have
requested such functionality since last year.  So I had considered
posting essentially the same kind of solution that you've suggested
today.  But I hesitated, because I wasn't quite certain if such an
implementation was permitted.

If such an implementation is permissible for use with CSEs, then I
wonder why such requested functionality has never before been
officially provided or documented for use with the AJAX Search API-
based Custom Search Element.

For years, Custom Search Engines have provided an option to host CSE
results within an Iframe on a separate results-page.  That
implementation (which has some IMO significant known issues and
limitations, discussed many times in the current and archived CSE
forums) doesn't use the AJAX Search API.

Given the longtime existence of that option, and the desire for a
better alternative, I was disappointed to see that the AJAX Search API-
based Custom Search Element (using the Custom Search Control),
introduced last year, only supports (in its official implementations
and documentation) a single page, not a separate results-page.

So for the past few months I have been wondering why the CSE folks
chose not to provide a separate results-page option for the Custom
Search Element, using an implementation similar to what you have shown
in your example.
