Rose -- Further reading on the drupal site suggests to me that the latest Drupal (8?) comes with a generic "connector" that can be tied to any search engine and that the instructions on the page I sent may be superseded by the new connector...
I'm not familiar with Drupal beyond simple experimentation a few years ago, but that's how I'd build it - make a connector and consume the returned data (json, xml, whatever) and then turn it into Drupal-formatted html or something similar. I think you might want to pursue the particulars on the Drupal list (I assume one exists...) HTH....
