Actually, if you're setting up a new CSE, the form requires you to enter one or more sites to search and does not offer the option that it used to to search the entire web. I thought this was the case. I just confirmed it. Further, while you can set up a CSE with a site (e.g., Google) and then use the control panel to remove that site, the CSE still won't search the web in general.
