As Barry said, this isn't too difficult: the Custom Search API
<https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/overview> should
provide you with search access you need. Although you should note the
prices: the first 100 searches are for free, then it's billed at $5 for
1000 searches. If you anticipate your application being used a lot, you
should rate limit requests or protect it in some manner so you don't end up
incurring a large bill.

If this is too limiting, I would suggest using another API but keeping your
original idea: for instance, you could use the Blogger API
<https://developers.google.com/blogger/> to search for posts and sorting
them in interesting ways, or using the Civic Information API
<https://developers.google.com/civic-information/> to sort election
information in new ways.
