Thanks Adam for pointing out that documentation. BTW, I forgot to mention another known way to obtain "web search" results from a CSE -- by prefixing an exclamation mark on the CX value.
For example with the CS API we specify a CX value in the request: * ...cx=012345678901234567890:abcdefghijk... "Web search" results can be obtained by adding a '!' prefix: ...cx=!012345678901234567890:abcdefghijk... ... or with '!' encoded as %21 ...cx=%21012345678901234567890:abcdefghijk... * (Note: The CX value shown here is obviously a fake example; a real and valid CX value must be used.) I don't recall finding any official documentation on that feature -- but IIRC it was first mentioned in early 2007 by a user in an old CS discussion group. (Users were able to discover the feature because the '!' CX prefix was visible in URLs produced by the "Web Search" radio-button option provided on Google-hosted CSE results pages.) If that feature is supported for general use, but not yet documented -- would Google consider documenting it?
